Heart of Saturday Night 
Tom Waits (JERRY JEFF WALKER) 
   
D5
Yeah, you gassed her up 
D5
You?re behind the wheel 
G5
Arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile 
E5
Barrelin? down the boulevard 
A5                        D5
Looking for the heart of Saturday night  
D5
You got paid on Friday 
D5
Pockets a jinglin' 
G5
You see the lights of town, you get all tinglin'  
       E5
As you cruisin' with a six pack 
     A5                        D5
Just lookin? for the heart of Saturday night  

 1  
G5               A5
Comb your hair, shave your face 
D5
Tryin? to wipe out every trace  
   G5
Of all the other days 
E5
In the week 
A5
This'll be the Saturday you're reachin? your peak   
D5
Stoppin' on  red 
D5
Goin? on a green 
G5
Tonight will be like nothin' you've ever seen  
          E5
As you're barrellin' down the boulevard 
A5                        D5
Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night  

 2  
G5
Is it the crack of the pool balls 
A5
The neon buzzin 
D5
The telephones ringing, it's your second cousin  
    G5
The barmaids smilin? in the corner of her eye 
    E5                       A5
The magic of that melancholy tear in your eye   
D5
Gotcha kinda quiverin 
D5
Down in the core 
G5
Dreamin? of them Saturday's that came before  
E5
That?s found you stumblin' 
A5                            D5
Stumblin' under the heart of Saturday night  

(Played Slow) 
D5
Like when you've gassed her up 
D5
Behind the wheel 
G5
Arm around your sweet one, in your Oldsmobile 
E5
Barreling down the boulevard 
A5                        D5
Looking for the heart of Saturday night
