G             Em              Am7
Seems like a dream now it was so long ago
     D7                            C             D
The moon burned so bright and the time went so slow
        G           Em           Am7
And I swore that I loved her and gave her a ring
      D                       G
The bluebird was high on the wing

Chorus:
Am7       G           C        G
Whatever happened to Saturday Night
Am7         G                         Dm7
Finding a sweetheart and holding her tight
           Am           G        C         G
She said "Tell me, oh, tell me, was I all right?"
C         G          D7 G D7   G
Whatever happened to Saturday Night?

The years brought the railroad it ran by my door
Now there's boards on the windows and dust on the floor
And she passes the time at another man's side
And I pass the time with my pride

  C             G      G7
What a tangled web we weave,
     C                 G   G7
Go 'round with circumstance
 C               G      Em
Someone show me how to tell
     G      C/G      G
The dancer from the dance

Chorus

C#dim7    G/D        D7 G D7   G   C G
Whatever happened to Saturday Night
