Saturday night’s alright for fighting (video) (midi)

G - C - G - C

G

1. It’s getting late, have you seen my mates ?

F

Ma, tell me when the boys are here !

C G

It’s seven o’clock and I want to rock, want to get a belly full of beer.

G

My old man’s drunker than a barrel full of monkeys,

F

and my old lady, she don’t care,

C

my sister looks cute in her braces and boots,

G - Dm

a handful of grease in her hair.

C Bb

Don’t give us none of your aggravation, we had it with your discipline,

F C

Saturday night’s alright for fighting, get a little action in !

C Bb

Get about as oiled as a diesel train, gonna set this dance alight,

F C

‘cause Saturday night’s the night I like, Saturday night’s alright,

G Bb F C

alright, alright, ooh, ooh, ooh.

+ G - F - C - G - F - C

G

2. Well, they’re packed pretty tight in here tonight,

F

I’m looking for a dolly who’ll see me right.

C

I may use a little muscle to get what I need,

G

I may sink a little drink and shout out “She’s with me”.

G

A couple of the sounds that I really like

F

are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike.

C

I’m a juvenile product of the working class

G Dm

whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass. Oh !

C Bb

Don’t give us none of your aggravation, we had it with your discipline,

F C

Saturday night’s alright for fighting, get a little action in !

C Bb

Get about as oiled as a diesel train, gonna set this dance alight,

F C

‘cause Saturday night’s the night I like, Saturday night’s alright,

G Bb F C

alright, alright, ooh, ooh, ooh.

+ C - Bb - F - C (2x) + Dm

+ CHORUS + C - Bb - F - C

C Bb

+ Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday,

F C

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night’s alright ! (3x)

+ C - Bb - F - C (2x) ….
