[G] [D] I had gas [Em] to [D] handle a wheel With your arm around [A] your sweet one
[G] And your old Smokey [Em] Pailing down the boulevard
[A] You're looking for the hardest [D] Saturday [Em] night [D] You
[G] [D] got paid on Friday
Your pockets are jingling [Bm] and you see [A] the lights [G] You get all tangled [Em] cause you're cruising with a six
[A] [G] You're looking for the hardest [D] Saturday night [G] And you comb your hair, [A]
shave your [D] face
[A] Trying to wipe [D] out every trace [G] Of all the other days
And a week you know that this'll be the Saturday You're reaching your peak
[D] Stopping on red, going on to [D] green Cause [G] tonight will be like nothing
You've ever seen And [Em] you're bailing down the boulevard
[A] You're looking for the [D] hardest Saturday [Em] night [D]
Tell [Bm] me is it the crack [G] of the pool [A] balls
Neon buzzing [D] [G] Telephones ringing [D] at your second cousin
[Bm] Is it the [G] barmaid that's smiling In the corner of her eye
The magic of the [A] melancholy tearing your [D] eyes
The exit kinda quiver Down in the cold
[Bm] But you're dreaming of [G] them Saturdays That came before [Em] and now you're stumbling
[A] You're stumbling onto the [D] hardest Saturday night
And [Em] you're gassed her up and you're [D] behind the wheel
[G] With your arm around [A] your sweet one [G] And your old Smokey
[Em] Bailing down the boulevard [A] You're [G] looking for the [D] hardest Saturday [Em] night
[D] Is [G] it the crack of the pool [A] balls Neon buzzing [D] [A] Telephones ringing [D] at your second cousin
[Bm] Is it the barmaid [G] that's smiling In the corner of her eye
The magic of the melancholy [A] tearing your eyes
