[Verse 1]
A A D A
Well, today there's no salvation, the band's packed up and gone,
A A E E
left me standin' with a penny in my hand.
A A D A
There's a big crowd at the station where a blind man sings his songs
A E A A7
and he can see what I can't understand.
[Chorus]
D D D A A
It's the thirty-third of August and I'm finally touchin' down,
A A E A A
eight days from Sunday, Lord, I'm Saturday-bound.
[Verse 2]
A A D A
Once I stumble through the darkness, tumble to my knees,
A A E E
a thousand voices screamin' through my brain.
A A7 D A
Woke up in the squad car, busted down for vagrancy,
A A E A A7
and outside my cell, sure as hell, it looked like rain.
[Chorus]
D D D A A
It's the thirty-third of August and I'm finally touchin' down,
A A E A A
eight days from Sunday, Lord, I'm Saturday-bound.
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
A A D A
Now I put my angry feelin' under lock and chain,
A A E E
I hide my violent nature with a smile.
A A7 D A
Though the demons dance and sing their songs within my fevered brain,
A E A A7
not all my God-like thoughts, Lord, are defiled.
[Chorus]
D D D A A
It's the thirty-third of August and I'm finally touchin' down,
A A E A A
eight days from Sunday, Lord, I'm Saturday-bound.

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