Saturday Night Special

Conway Twitty

(A lot of quick chord changes in this song. I'M sure I missed some,

Comments are welcomed)

A G F

Well, I was there to buy a pistol She was there to hawk her ring

G Cm Bm

The broker in the pawnshop Deals in almost anything.

F Bm

Hell pay you for your misery Or hell sell you someone's pain

A Gm Cm B - G

And that twinkle in his greedy eye Says your loss will be his gain.

Cm Bm

She stood back in the shadows As the broker dealt with me

G Cm

Her eyes were dark and desperate From some private misery.

Cm Fm

His words were so prophetic When he said you got a steal

A Gm Cm

I said throw in one bullet and you got yourself a deal.

B

Oh, a Saturday night special Is an easy thing to buy

Cm B

All you got to be is twenty-one or fifteen if you lie.

Fm Cm

Just hand the man money And if some ones gotta die

A Gm C

The broker in the pawnshop won't even blink an eye.

B

Well, he handed me the pistol and I was almost to the door

Cm Bm Cm

When I heard him tell the lady Seven dollars nothing more.

G B

The lady started crying as he took her wedding band

A G C

Well, my hand was in my pocket and the gun was in my hand.

C

Well I was gonna use that bullet to end my life

G F

I was once somebody's husband she was once somebody's wife.

Cm Bm

Well, I usually mind my business, but I could not walk away

A G C G D

His dollars just weren't making sense and I knew I had to stay.

C

Well, the brokers face turned pasty when he caught my icy stare

D C

It would never leave my pocket, but he knew the gun was there.

D C

I asked him what his life was worth and he opened up that drawer

Dm A D

For a simple golden wedding band He paid $2000 more.

G C

That Saturday night was special even though it wasn't planned

D C

As we walked down the sidewalk She reached and took my hand.

Gm D

We crossed the bridge and I took that gun and sailed it through the air

A D

I said, Ever been to Texas? She said, I think Id love it there.

C

Oh, a Saturday night special is an easy thing to buy

D C

All you got to be is twenty-one or fifteen if you lie

Gm D

But there's a pawnshop in the city, that used to deal in everything

A D

Ha, but you cant buy a pistol there, you cant hawk your wedding ring...
