SATURDAY SUN

Nick Drake

From: Harlan L Thompson
C Saturday su G n c Am ame early one mo C rning
D7/F# In a sky was so cle G ar and blu C e    G
C Saturday su G n ca Am me without war C ning
D7/F# So noone k G new what to  C do    G
Saturday sun brought people and faces
That didn't seem much in their day
But when I remember those people and places
They were really too good in their way
CHORUS #1:
C7    In their w F ay, in their  D7/F# way      C
But saturday s A un  F won't come and s G ee me t C oday
C7      F     G     C
Think about stories with reason and rhyme
Circling through your brain
And think about people in their season and time
Returning again and again
CHORUS #2:
And again, and again
But Saturday's sun has turned to Sunday's rain
CHORUS #3:
C7    S F o Sunday  D7/F# sat    C in the Saturday  A sun
And w F ept for a da G y gone b F y   C
NOTE: Gads- a Nick Drake tune in standard tuning and easy to play!
What's wrong! Since this is an approximation of a piano part we know for
once that certainly the song must be in standard tuning.
(from Five Leaves Left, 1969)
