[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
