Smooth Operator
Sade Lyrics - Diamond Life
SMOOTH OPERATOR
Words and Music: Sade Adu and St. John
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 GADm Am7 Am7
Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
Dm Am7 GAm7 Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7
City lights and business nights.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 Gm7Am7
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.
Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7/B
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
Gm7 Am7 DAm7/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.
Dm Am7 Am7
He's a smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7Am7
smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7Am7

Dm Am7 Gm7Am7
smooth operator.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 GAm7
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Dm Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm Am7 GAm7
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.
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.
Dm Am7 GmAm7
He's a smooth operator,
Dm Am7 Gm7Am7
