Sade - Smooth Operator

[Verse]
Dm Dm/Db
He’s laughing with another girl
Am7/C Am7/Cb
And playing with another heart.
Dm Dm/Db
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
Am7/C Am7/Cb
He’s loved in seven languages.
Dm Dm/Db
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Am7/C Am7/Cb
Heaven help him, when he falls.

Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
City lights and business nights.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.

Gm7 Am7 Dm Dm/Db Am7/C Am7/B
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
Gm7 Am7 Dm Dm/Db Am7/C Am7/B
When sentiment is left to chance.
Gm7 Am7 Dm
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.
Fill A

No need to ask.

[Chorus]
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
He’s a smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

[Verse]
Face to face, each classic case.

We shadow box and double cross,

Yet need the chase.
“”Some where here is the guitar, sax solo” “Dorfun make it your own
solo”

Gm7 Am7 Dm
A license to love, insurance to hold.
Gm7 Am7 Dm
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
Gm7 Am7 Dm
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.
Fill A
No need to ask.

[Chorus]
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
He’s a smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
Smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
smooth operator…
