Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting by Elton John
Key:GG| Capo:0fr|
IntroG/DF/CGF/GGF/GG/DF/CGF/GGF/GVerseG
It's getting late have you seen my mates
F
Ma tell me when the boys get here
C
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
G
Want to get a belly full of beer
G
My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
F
And my old lady she don't care
C
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
GA handful of grease in her hair
Dm7 ↓Gliss…
Ohhhhhhh
ChorusC
Don't give us none of your aggravation
A#
We had it with your discipline
F
Saturday night's alright for fighting
C
Get a little action in
C
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
A#
Gonna set this dance alight
F
`Cause Saturday night's the night I like
C
Saturday night's alright
C/EC/FC/F#GG/F-E

Cm7/D# Dm7+4 C
Oooooo oo-oo ooh
GDmFGDmFVerseG
Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
F
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
C
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
G
I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!"
GA couple of the sounds that I really like
F
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
C
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
G
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass
Dm7 ↓Gliss…
Ohhhhhhh
ChorusC
Don't give us none of your aggravation
