Heart Of a Saturday Night

Jerry Jeff Walker


Tom: D

D
Yeah, you gassed her up
D7
You?re behind the wheel
G
Arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile
Em
Barrelin? down the boulevard
A                        D
Looking for the heart of Saturday night

D
You got paid on Friday
D7
Pockets a jinglin'
G
You see the lights of town, you get all tinglin'
       Em
As you cruisin' with a six pack
     A                        D
Just lookin? for the heart of Saturday night

G               A
Comb your hair, shave your face
D
Tryin? to wipe out every trace
   G
Of all the other days
Em
In the week
A
This'll be the Saturday you're reachin? your peak

D
Stoppin' on red
D7
Goin? on a green
G
Tonight will be like nothin' you've ever seen
          Em
As you're barrellin' down the boulevard
A                        D
Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

G
Is it the crack of the pool balls
A
The neon buzzin
D
The telephones ringing, it's your second cousin
    G
The barmaids smilin? in the corner of her eye
    Em                       A
The magic of that melancholy tear in your eye

D
Gotcha kinda quiverin
D7
Down in the core
G
Dreamin? of them Saturday's that came before
Em
That?s found you stumblin'
A                            D
Stumblin' under the heart of Saturday night

D
Like when you've gassed her up
D7
Behind the wheel
G
Arm around your sweet one, in your Oldsmobile
Em
Barreling down the boulevard
A                        D
Looking for the heart of Saturday night
