[Verse 1]
A     B     D     B     D     B     A     B
Two feet they come a creepin'
A     B     D     B     D     B     A     B
Like a black cat do
A     B     D     B     D     B     A     B
And two bodies are layin' naked
A     B     D     B     D     B     A     B
A creeper think he got nothin' to lose
[Bridge]
D          B          D          B
So he creeps into this house, yeah
D          B          D          B
And unlocks the door
D          B          D          B
And as a man's reaching for his trousers
D          B          D          B
Shoots him full of thirty-eight holes
[Chorus]
D          B          D          B
Mr. Saturday night special
A          B          A          B
Got a barrel that's blue and cold
D          B          D          B
Ain't good for nothin'
A          B          A          B
But put a man six feet in a hole
[Verse 2]
A     B     D     B     D     B     A     B
Big Jim's been drinkin' whiskey
A     B     D     B     D     B     A     B
And playin' poker on a losin' night
A     B     D     B     D     B     A     B
And pretty soon ol' Jim starts a thinkin'
A     B     D     B     D     B     A     B
Somebody been cheatin' and lyin'
[Bridge]
D          B          D          B
So Big Jim commence to fightin'
D          B          D          B
I wouldn't tell you no lie
D          B          D          B
Big Jim done pulled his pistol
D          B          D          B
Shot his friend right between the eyes
[Chorus]
D          B          D          B
Mr. Saturday night special
A          B          A          B
Got a barrel that's blue and cold
D          B          D          B
Ain't good for nothin'
A          B          A          B
But put a man six feet in a hole
D          B          D          B
Oh, it's the Saturday night special
A          B          A          B
for twenty dollars you can buy yourself one too
[Verse 3]
A     B     D     B     D     B     A     B
Hand guns are made for killin'
A     B     D     B     D     B     A     B
They ain't no good for nothin' else
A     B     D     B     D     B     A     B
And if you like to drink your whiskey
A     B     D     B     D     B     A     B
You might even shoot yourself
[Bridge]
D          B          D          B
So why don't we dump 'em people
D          B          D          B
To the bottom of the sea
D          B          D          B
Before some ol' fool come around here
D          B          D          B
Wanna shoot either you or me
[Chorus]
D          B          D          B
Mr. Saturday night special
A          B          A          B
You got a barrel that's blue and cold
D          B          D          B
You ain't good for nothin'
A          B          A          B
But put a man six feet in a hole
D          B          D          B
Mr. the Saturday night special
A          B          A          B
And I'd like to tell you what you could do with it
