    Somebody's Saturday Night Chords

    Dm7

    Somebody’s Saturday night seems pleased to meet you Slouched in a booth at Pamela’s Pistol Dawn Drink drink cigarette talkie talk drink drink smoke smoke cigarette Up to the room with the beddie-bye goin’ on


    Somebody’s Saturday night says oh I get it You want to go where no man’s ever been Down in the coal mine goin’ down turn around push push turn around Digging up the gold and carrying it back again


    BbMaj7 Fmaj7

    She looked good

    G7 In the available light

    D7sus4 C7sus4 Gm7(3/6) <-----(D E G/G) She was some body’s Saturday night

    BbMaj7 Fmaj7 She said it ain’t wrong

    G7 But it’s not quite right

    D7sus4 C7sus4 Guess it’s some body’s Saturday night


    Somebody’s Saturday night says hey it’s raining You wouldn’t kick a good girl out on a night like this He says she says the demon in me says just you watch me Pucker up darling for my legendary good night kiss


    She’s no fool But she’s none too bright She’s just somebody’s Saturday night She stays cool If not watertight Such is somebody’s Saturday night


    Am7

    Only a girl —

    /C One more is up and gone

    Gmaj7 Leaving nobody

    D7 To blame the whole thing on — baby


    Somebody’s Saturday night is walking in the moonlight Playing on the beads of her beatnik rosary Thinking: Nobody gives it exactly the way that you want it No one ever gets it with a money-back guarantee

    But I been born with the second sight Now I’m looking in the mirror at somebody’s Saturday night I get along In fact I do all right Being somebody’s Saturday night

    What a cool song.....for those of us that prefer to be spoon fed our chords charts, and having already been so kind to post your work here, could you spell out guitar chords like the Gm7 (3/6) for me as in 355363....? You wouldn't throw a nice guy out on a night like this.....would ya???

    I checked my notes, and on the first take I wrote Gm7(b6), which would be 363343, I think. I'm just playing G in the left hand, and D E G in the right. This is one of the trickier parts of the song to me, so I'd be happy if one of you jumps in and says, no, that's clearly a Q flat negative seventh with a boomerang, or whatever. Playing what I'm doing on the piano on a guitar, maybe that would be 350050?
