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
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?
