Saturday sun came early one morning

F#dim7 G C G

In a sky so clear and blue

C G/B Am C/G

Saturday sun came without warning

F#dim7 G C G

So no-one knew what to do

C G/B Am C/G

Saturday sun brought people and faces

F#dim7 G C G

That didn't seem much in their day

C G/B Am C/G

But when I remember those people and places

F#dim7 G C C7

They were really too good in their way

F F#dim7

In their way, in their way

C A7 Dm7 G C C7 F G

Saturday sun won't come and see me today

C G/B Am C/G

Think about stories with reason and rhyme

F#dim7 G C G

Circling through your brain

C G/B Am C/G

And think about people in their season and time

F#dim7 G C C7

Returning again and again

F F#dim7

And again, and again

C A7 Dm7 G C C7

And Saturday's sun has turned to Sunday's rain

F F#dim7 C A7

So Sunday sat in the Saturday sun

Dm7 G F C9

And wept for a day gone by
