B A B Two feets, they come a creepin' B D E Like a black cat do And two bodies are layin' naked A creeper think he got nothin' to lose B So he creeps into this house, yeah And unlocks the door An' as the man's reaching for his trousers He shoots him full of 38 holes Chorus: B Mister Saturday Night Special A E Got a barrel that's blue and cold B It ain't good for nothing but E puttin' men six feet in a hole Big Jim's been drinking whiskey And playing poker on a losing night An' pretty soon, Ol' Jim starts a-thinkin' Somebody been cheatin' and lyin' So Big Jim commence to fighting I wouldn't tell you no lie Big Jim done pulled his pistol Shot his friend right between the eyes Chorus B Hmm, and that's the Saturday Night Special For twenty dollars, you can buy yourself one, too Oh, lemme tell you all about it Hand guns are made for killing They ain't no good for nothing else And if you like to drink your whiskey You might even shoot yourself So why don't we dump 'em, people, to the bottom of the sea? Before some old fool come around here Wanna shoot either you, or me Chorus It's a Saturday Night Special And I'd like to tell you what you can do with it, too And that's the end of this song You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  E  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
