Tom Waits (JERRY JEFF WALKER) 
   
(D) Yeah, you gassed her up 
(D7) You’re behind the wheel 
(G) Arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile 
(Em) Barrelin’ down the boulevard 
(A) Looking for the heart of (D) Saturday night  
  
(D) You got paid on Friday 
(D7) Pockets a jinglin' 
(G) You see the lights of town, you get all tinglin'  
As you (Em) cruisin' with a six pack 
Just (A) lookin’ for the heart of (D) Saturday night

(G)Comb your hair,(A) shave your face 
(D)Tryin’ to wipe out every trace  
Of (G) all the other days 
(Em)In the week 
(A)This'll be the Saturday you're reachin’ your peak 
 

(D) Stoppin' on  red 
(D7) Goin’ on a green 
(G) Tonight will be like nothin' you've ever seen  
As you're (Em) barrellin' down the boulevard 
(A) Lookin' for the heart of (D) Saturday night

(G) Is it the crack of the pool balls 
(A) The neon buzzin 
(D) The telephones ringing, it's your second cousin  
The (G) barmaids smilin’ in the corner of her eye 
The (Em) magic of that melancholy (A)tear in your eye 
 

(D) Gotcha kinda quiverin 
(D7) Down in the core 
(G) Dreamin’ of them Saturday's that came before  
(Em) That’s found you stumblin' 
(A) Stumblin' under the heart of (D) Saturday night  

(Played Slow) 

(D) Like when you've gassed her up 
(D7) Behind the wheel 
(G) Arm around your sweet one, in your Oldsmobile 
(Em) Barreling down the boulevard 
(A) Looking for the heart of (D) Saturday night
