[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]

[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.
