[Verse]
         F                     C            F                        C
The only light in the basement apartment, a blue TV glow through the blinds
    G                      Am        F        C      G
The flicker and din in the dark of a Saturday night
  F                     C          F                   C
A raven's asleep in the rafters, a stray cat circles a kill
         G                     Am            F          C       G
From the basement, the tin-can laughter of a late night thrill

[Chorus]
  F                      C               F                       Am      F
Tomorrow's asleep on the front step, and yesterday dreams in the street
           C                     F                    Am
But in the basement apartment, a shadowy man, he just stares at the wall
         G
He can't sleep
    F                       G              F                       G
And me I'm just part of the darkness, just trying to get something right
     F        C      F
On a Saturday night
              C      G
On a Saturday night

[Verse]
    F                      C              F                  C
And this all reminds me of something, the song of a long ago time
  G               Am            F        C      G
A memory pure and haunting on a Saturday night
    F                       C        F                   C
And I don't have all of the answers, I don't have even a few
        G                     Am            F          C    G
But two shadows above me were dancing and I thought of you

[Chorus]
   F                     C               F                       Am      F
Tomorrow's asleep on the front step, and yesterday dreams in the street
           C                     F                    Am
But in the basement apartment, a shadowy man, he just stares at the wall
         G
He can't sleep
    F                       G              F                       G
And me I'm just part of the darkness, just trying to get something right
     F        C      F
On a Saturday night
              C      G
On a Saturday night

[Solo]
Am  G  F  C  G  F  C  Am  G

[Outro]
         F                     C              F                   C
The only light in the basement apartment, the flicker and fade of time
    G                 Am         F        C
The heavy and hopeful heart of a Saturday night
     F        C      F  C
Of a Saturday night
