Album: Long Tall Weekend
Verse 1:
[D] Opera[F#7]tors are s[G]tandi[Gm]ng by
[D] Smoking ci[G]garettes and d[D]rinking[G] coffee
[D] Bounce their[F#7] shoes at the[G] end of the[Gm]ir feet
And w[D]ish they [A]could go[G] home
Chorus:
[C] Ope[D]rators are [G]standing by[Bm]
[C] Poking [D]holes in the [G]ceiling t[Bm]iles
[C] Making j[D]okes about [G]their old bo[Bm]yfriends and
[C] [G/B]Days gone [A7]by
Verse 2:
Operators are standing by
Talking about their portrayal
On the TV where an actress sits
With a headset in outer space
Bridge:
T[A]hat's enough talking, l[G]ad[D]ies.
Verse 3:
Operators are standing by
Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee
Pass 'round a picture of a mobius strip
And wish they could go home
end on D
