#SATURDAY SUN- Nick Drake
#
C G Am C
Saturday sun came early one morning
D7/F# G CG
In a sky was so clear and blue
C G Am C
Saturday sun came without warning
D7/F# G C G
So noone knew what to do
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 F D7/C#
In their way, in their way
A F G C
But saturday sun won't come and see me today
CFGC
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:
C7F D7/FC A
So Sunday sat in the Saturday sun
F G FC
And wept for a day gone by
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)
