[Intro]
A          A 

[Verse 1]
        A                        A D 
Well, today there\'s no salvation,     
                         A
the band\'s packed up and gone,
A                  A 
  left me standin\'   
                          E   E
  with a penny in my hand.
          A            
There\'s a big crowd at 
            A         D     
the station   where a blind 
              A
man sings his songs
A                E      
  and he can see   what 
               A        A7
  I can\'t understand.

[Chorus]
         D               D      
It\'s the thirty-third of August 
        D                A    A
and I\'m finally touchin\' down,
A                 A             
  eight days from Sunday, Lord,   
E              A           A
  I\'m Saturday-bound.

[Verse 2]
       A               
Once I stumble through 
              A D 
the darkness,     
             A
tumble to my knees,
A                   A           
  a thousand voices   screamin\' 
             E          E
  through my brain.
A                           
  Woke up in the squad car,   
A7       D              A
  busted down for vagrancy,
    A                
and outside my cell, 
A               
  sure as hell, 
E                A     A7
  it looked like rain.

[Chorus]
         D               D      
It\'s the thirty-third of August 
        D                A    A
and I\'m finally touchin\' down,
A                 A             
  eight days from Sunday, Lord,   
E              A           A
  I\'m Saturday-bound.

[Interlude]
A          A7         D          A
A          A          E          E 
A          A7         D          A
A          E          A          A

[Verse 3]
      A                    A 
Now I put my angry feelin\'   
D                     A
  under lock and chain,
A                   A      
  I hide my violent nature 
               E          E
  with a smile.
           A            
Though the demons dance 
               A7    D 
and sing their songs   
                  A
within my fevered brain,
A                   E         
not all my God-like thoughts, 
            A          A7
Lord, are defiled.

[Chorus]
         D               D      
It\'s the thirty-third of August 
        D                A    A
and I\'m finally touchin\' down,
A                 A             
  eight days from Sunday, Lord,   
E              A           A
  I\'m Saturday-bound.

[Interlude]
A          A7         D          A
A          A          E          E 
A          A7         D          A
A          E          A          A7

[End-Chorus]
         D               D          
It\'s the thirty-third of August and 
    D                A        A
I\'m finally touchin\' down,
A                 A             
  eight days from Sunday, Lord,   
E              A           A E A
  I\'m Saturday-bound.
