[Intro]
Bm   D Bm  D

[Verse 1]
E7
Where did Saturday go?
E7
Lost in a whirlwind, heady passion
E7
Long faces hang so low
            A
High-flying dreams
              E
to earth fell crashing
Bm
Deeply regrettable,
somewhat predictable
D         E        D E
Faintly implausible, quite
unmissable
    A         G          D   F
But where did Saturday go?

[Verse 2]
E7
Friday felt so alive
E7
Savagely, wickedly entertaining
E7
Watching comeuppance arrive:
E7
The howl of the pneuma,
the last breath remaining
    Bm
For bucking the system,
ascending the rostrum
  D     E         D E
Occasional tantrum, offering nostrum
    A         G           D   F
But where did Saturday go?

Sunday started so slow

Empty beds in emptier places
