[Intro]

G5      D5     A5    C5
G5      D5     A5    C5


[Verse]

            G5
There was a sheet metal moon

The night that Jimmy lost his life
C5               D5          G5
Swimming in the carburetor lines
       G5
He was last seen kissing

The rings of the pistons
    C5                 D5             G5
And drinking with the gears as they grind


[Chorus]

C5
Saturday night
        G5
And the sheet metal moon
      D5
Plays tricks with my eyes
      C5
As it burns through the fumes
    C5
The sheet metal moon shines
     G5
We'd better take a ride
D5
Out to the bridge
         C5
Where we used to get high


[Verse]

    G5
The skinny kid said

Jimmy couldn't be dead
             C5
He just went out to get
     D5                  G5
Some speed and kill the pain
G5
Crossing double lines

And shutting down his headlights
    C5              D5        G5
And passing in the oncoming lanes


[Chorus]

C5
Saturday night
        G5
And the sheet metal moon
      D5
Plays tricks with my eyes
      C5
As it burns through the fumes
    C5
The sheet metal moon shines
     G5
We'd better take a ride
D5
Out to the bridge
         C5
Where we used to get high


[Bridge]

          G5              D5         
But there seems to be no sign
       A5              C5
As the timing chain is throwing links
    G5           D5
And not keeping time
       A5          C5
As the manifold is gasping as
    G5           D5
The rocker arms wave goodbye
     A5
From under the bridge
      C5             G5      D5     A5    C5
Where everybody got high
G5      D5     A5    C5
High


[Verse]

        G5
And the black line you struck

And kid, it's just your luck
   C5              D5             G5
It looks like you crippled your frame
    G5
The wells won't hold

And the bolts all broke
        C5
And the shards of glass
    D5                G5
Are swimming in your brain


[Chorus]

C5
Saturday night
        G5
And the sheet metal moon
D5
Lights up the road
     C5
As I drive to the tune
    C5
The sheet metal moon and I
    G5
Are riding alone
D5
Out to the bridge
         C5
Where we used to get stoned

C5
Saturday night
        G5
And the sheet metal moon
   D5
Is still playing tricks
     C5
As I walk through the rooms
  C5
I drank all the fuel
     G5
As I breathe in the fumes
       D5
Out on West Adams Road
            C5
When I went looking for you

C5
Saturday night
        G5
And the sheet metal moon
      D5
Plays tricks with my eyes
      C5
As it burns through the fumes
    C5
The sheet metal moon shines
     G5
We'd better take a ride
D5
Out to the bridge
         C5
Where we used to get high


[Bridge]

          G5              D5         
But there seems to be no sign
       A5              C5
As the timing chain is throwing links
    G5           D5
And not keeping time
       A5          C5
As the manifold is gasping as
    G5           D5
The rocker arms wave goodbye
     A5
From under the bridge
      C5             G5      D5     A5    C5
Where everybody got high
G5      D5     A5    C5
High
G5      D5     A5    C5     G5
