Heart of Saturday Night 
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                        D
Looking for the heart of Saturday night  
D
You got paid on Friday 
D7
Pockets a jinglin' 
G
You see the lights of town, you get all tinglin'  
       Em
As you cruisin' with a six pack 
     A                        D
Just lookin? for the heart of Saturday night  

 1  
G               A
Comb your hair, shave your face 
D
Tryin? to wipe out every trace  
   G
Of 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  
          Em
As you're barrellin' down the boulevard 
A                        D
Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

G
Is it the crack of the pool balls 
A
The neon buzzin 
D
The telephones ringing, it's your second cousin  
    G
The barmaids smilin? in the corner of her eye 
    Em                       A
The magic of that melancholy 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                            D
Stumblin' under the heart of 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                        D
Looking for the heart of Saturday night
