Song: 33rd of August Written: by Mickey Newbury Album: Waylon (RCA Vitctor) 1970 [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C                          F
Today there's no salvation band's packed up and gone

G                                     C      F
I'm left standing with my penny in my hand

C                          F
Down at railroad station a blind man sings his song

G                                   C
I think he sees things I don't understand.
[Chorus]
         F
It's the 33rd of August

                         C
And I'm finally touching down

F               Dm
Eight days from Sunday

        G         C
Finds me Saturday bound.
[Verse 2]
  C                            F
I stumbled through the darkness tumble to my knees

 G                                C
A thousand voices screaming in my brain

                               F
Wound up in a squad car busted down for vacancy

G7                               C                      C7
Outside my cell it's sure as hell looks just like rain.
[Chorus]
         F
It's the 33rd of August

                         C
And I'm finally touching down

F               Dm
Eight days from Sunday

        G         C
Finds me Saturday bound.
[Verse 3]
     C                        F
I've put my dangerous feelings under lock and chain

G                              C
Killed my violent nature with a smile

                             F
Let the demons dance and sing within my fevered brain

    G                               C
Not all my God like thoughts were defiled.
[Chorus]
         F
It's the 33rd of August

                         C
And I'm finally touching down

F               Dm
Eight days from Sunday

        G         C
Finds me Saturday bound.
[Outro] C F G7 C
