Key:G
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
C
Lord today, there's no salvation, the band's packed up and gone
D G
Left me standing with my penny in my hand
C
There's a big crowd at the station where the blind man sings his song
D G
But he can see what they can't understand
[Chorus]
C G
Its the thirty-third of August and I'm finally touching down
Am D G
Eight days from Sunday leaves me Saturday bound
[Verse 2]
G C D
Once I stumbled through the darkness, tumbled to my knees
G
A thousand voices screaming in my brain
C
Woke up in a squad car, busted down for vagrancy
D G
Outside my cell as sure as hell, it looked like rain
[Chorus]
C G
Its the thirty-third of August and I'm finally touching down
Am D G
Eight days from Sunday leaves me Saturday bound
[Verse 3]
G C
But now I've got my dangerous feelings under lock and chain
D G
Killed my violent nature with a smile
C
Though the demons danced and sang their song within my fevered brain
D G
Not all my God-like thoughts, Lord, were defiled
[Chorus]
C G
Its the thirty-third of August and I'm finally touching down
Am D G
Eight days from Sunday leaves me Saturday bound
