Aside from Seeso's Time in a Bottle tab, does anyone know of or have any resources for some of Jim Croce's songs? I"m most interested in 'Operator' and 'I'll have to say I love you in a song'

I guess I'll work on it myself, but, any help is appreciated.

Here's a little bit of "Operator." I've been meaning to tab out the rest, but I haven't gotten to it. The chords that come up when I google for "I'll Have to Say I Love You In a Song" have sounded good whenever I used them.
 
Lover Cross
Jim Croce
cover by Keonepax

Am E7 Am G F G7 C
// // //// //// // // /
[C] Guess that [Am] it was [Dm] bound to [G7] happen
[C] Was just a [Am] matter of [Dm] time... [G7]
Now I've [C] come to [Am] my de[Dm]cision... [G7]
and it's [C] one of the painful kind... [Am]
'Cuz now it [F] seems that you [G] wanted a [Am] martyr
Just a [F] regular [C] guy wouldn't [Dm] do [G7]
'cuz baby [C] I can't [Am] hang up[Dm]on no lover's [G7] cross for [C] you [G7]

Yeah, I [C] really [Am] gotta [Dm] hand it [G7] to ya...
[C] 'Cuz girl, [Am] you really [Dm] tried... [G7]
but for [C] every [Am] time that [Dm] we spent [G7] laughing
there were [C] two times that I [Am] cried
You were [F] trying to [G] make me your [Am] martyr
And that's the [F] one thing I [C] just couldn't [Dm] do [G7]
'Cuz baby [C] I can't [Am] hang
up[Dm]on no lover's [G7] cross for [C] you [C7] F G Am Em F C
'cuz [F] tables are [G] meant for [Am]turn- [Em]ing...
and [F] people are [C] bound to [Dm] change [G7]
and {F] bridges are {G] meant for [Am]burn- [Em]ing...
when the [F] people and [C] memories
they [Dm7] join aren't the [G7] same [Dm7] [G7]
Still I [C] hope that [Am] you can [Dm] find a[G7]nother
Who can [C] take what [Am] I could [Dm] not [G7]
[C] He'll have to [Am] be a [Dm] super [G7] guy
or [C] maybe a super god... [Am]
'Cuz I {F] never was [G] much of a [Am] martyr before
And I [F] ain't 'bout to {C] start nothing [Dm] new [G7]
and baby [C] I can't [Am] hang up[Dm]on no lover's [G7] cross for [C] you
Em Am G F G7 C

:) I've checked out chordie first, of course, they aren't too bad... I'm aiming to learn a little more of the picking, Jim Croce has such a distinctive style, the strum doesn't always seem quite right, ya know?

Thanks for the chord resources :)
