Dm7

Somebodyâ??s Saturday night seems pleased to meet you
Slouched in a booth at Pamelaâ??s Pistol Dawn
Drink drink cigarette talkie talk drink drink smoke smoke cigarette
Up to the room with the beddie-bye goinâ?? on


Somebodyâ??s Saturday night says oh I get it
You want to go where no manâ??s ever been
Down in the coal mine goinâ?? 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                  bodyâ??s Saturday night

                           BbMaj7         Fmaj7
She said it ainâ??t wrong

                             G7
But itâ??s not quite right

                D7sus4    C7sus4                           
Guess itâ??s some                bodyâ??s Saturday night


Somebodyâ??s Saturday night says hey itâ??s raining
You wouldnâ??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


Sheâ??s no fool
But sheâ??s none too bright
Sheâ??s just somebodyâ??s Saturday night
She stays cool
If not watertight
Such is somebodyâ??s Saturday night


             Am7
Only a girl â??

                                      /C
One more is up and gone

                  Gmaj7
Leaving nobody

                                               D7
To blame the whole thing on â?? baby


Somebodyâ??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 Iâ??m looking in the mirror at somebodyâ??s Saturday night
I get along
In fact I do all right
Being somebodyâ??s Saturday night
