E 
Monday had a sad child 
D 
Always feeling low down 
E 
Tuesday had a dream child 
D 
She's always on the go 
D                                 E 
So, i'm in love with saturday's child 

E 
Every time you take her out at night 
               G#m 
(she drives me wild) 
G#m 
You want to kiss and hold her way up tight 
                 A 
(gonna spend my time) 
A 
You can tell the future's looking bright 
                   B 
(making sure that saturday's child is mine.) 

E  
If you love a wednesday 
D 
You live your life apart, now 
    E 
And if you love a thursday 
D 
She's gonna break your heart 
D                                 E 
So, i'm in love with saturday's child 

E 
Every time you hold her close you'll see 
               G#m 
(she drives me wild) 
G#m 
You can feel the thrill that's gonna be 
                 A 
(gonna spend my time) 
 A 
Now the future has a guarantee 
                   B 
(making sure that saturday's child is mine.)

E     G#m          E             G#m 
Seven days of the week made to choose from 
E        G#m     E         B 
But only one is right for me 
  D          E          D           E 
I know that saturday's got what it takes, babe 
  D                E                   F# 
I can tell by the waaaay she looks at me

Friday likes the good life

She'll take you for a ride, now

And sunday makes a good wife

So, i'm in love with saturday's child
