The Heart Of Saturday Night
Tom Waits

D
Well, you gassed her up, behind the wheel
          G
With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile
Em7                                   A                        D
Barrellin' down the boulevard, youre lookin' for the heart of Saturday Night

D
You got paid on Friday, and your pockets are jinglin'
        G
And you see the lights and you get all tinglin'
Em7                                     A                        D
'Cause your cruisin' with a six, You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

        G               A                D
Now you comb your hair, shave your face, tryin' to wipe out every trace
    G             G/B              Em7 (hold)                      A
Of all the other days in the week, this'll be the Saturday you're reachin' your peak

D
Stoppin' on the red, you're goin' on the green
       G 
'Cause tonight'll be like nothin' that you've ever seen
Em7                                       A                        D
And you're barrellin' down the boulevard, lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

BREAK ON VERSE CHORDS

          G                       A 
Is it the crack of the pool balls neon buzzin'?
D
Telephone ringin'. It's you're second cousin.
          G                               G/B
Is it the barmaid that's smilin' from the corner of her eye?
Em7                     A
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye

D
Makes a kind of quiver down in the core
            G
'Cause your dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before
Em7                        A                         D
And now you're stumblin'  stumblin on the heart of Saturday night

D
Well, you gassed her up, behind the wheel
          G   
With your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile
Em7                                   A                        D
Barrellin' down the boulevard, youre lookin' for the heart of Saturday night
Em7
Youre going barrellin' down the boulevard
       A                        D 
Youre lookin' for the heart of Saturday Night
Em7
Youre going barrellin' down the boulevard
       A                        D
Youre lookin' for the heart of Saturday Night
