[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Operator,
can you help me
Help me if you please
[G]Give me the right area code
And the num[D]ber that I need
[E]My rider left upon [A]the Midnight Flyer
[Bm]Singin' like a summer breeze
[D]

[Verse 2]
I think she's somewhere down south
Down about Baton Rouge
But [G]I just a can't remember
no number
[D]A number I can use
Dir[E]ectory don't have it
[A]Central done forgot it
[Bm]Gotta find a number to use.

[Verse 3]
[D]Trying to check out her number
Trying to run down her line.
[G]Operator said that's
priv'ledged information
And it [D]ain't no business of mine
It's [E]floodin' down in Texas
[A]Poles are out in Utah
[Bm]Gotta find a private line
[D]

[Verse 4]
She could be hangin'
'round the steel mill
Working in a house of blue lights
[G]Riding a getaway bus out of Portland
[D]Talking to the night
I don't [E]know where she's going
I don't [A]care where she's been
[Bm]Long as she's been doin' it
[D]right[G][D]
[E][A][Bm]
[D][A]
[Bm]Long as she's been doin' it right
