Saturday Night chords by Jamie Lenman

verse 1
   E       A         B        E
My old man died on a Saturday night
  C#m           A            Bsus4 B
I watched as he just stopped breathing
    E             A         B           C#m
and though it was awful and painful and sad
      A            B      E
I was glad that he wasn't alone


verse 2
   E             A               B         E
It felt like something he'd just had to go through
   C#m     A              Bsus4 B
an arduous task he'd been given
       E           A           B            C#m
And it seemed so unfair it was his cross to bear
    A           B       E
the sickest and weakest of us

verse 3
      E           A         B          E
Oh we never spoke much as a father and son
    C#m       A    Bsus4 B
but we had an understanding
      E              A            B       C#m
and I still hear his voice when I open my mouth
   A         B          E
in anger, or wisdom, or such


Coda
   E       A       B         E
If I see a similar jacket or hair
  C#m         A           Bsus4 B
I think for a moment I've found him
    E        A             B          C#m
but then I remember - it's not about "where"
      A             B           C#m   F
and I know he's not lost, he is gone, yea
         A            B      E
I'm just glad that he wasn't alone
