Book of Saturday I have divided the song by its various motifs and the roman numerals correspond with these bits NOTE: This is the BASIC structure of the song, feel free to make variations on the basic patterns. I have divided the song up into bits that correspond with the roman numerals in the lyrics here-in. (12)=harmonic I If I only could deceive you Forgetting the game I Every time I try to leave you You laugh just the same II 'Cause my wheels never touch the road And the jumble of lies we told Just returns to my back to weigh me down... I We lay cards upon the table The backs of our hands I And I swear I like your people The boys in the band III Reminiscences gone astray Coming back to enjoy the fray In a tangle of night and daylight sounds... IV V III VI VII All completeness in the morning Asleep on your side I'll be waking up the crewmen Banana-boat ride She responds like a limousine Brought alive on the silent screen To the shuddering breath of yesterday... I There's the succour of the needy Incredible scenes I'll believe you in the future Your life and death dreams VIII As the cavalry of despair Takes a stand in the lady's hair For the favour of making sweet sixteen... You make my life and times A book of bluesy Saturdays And I have to chose...
