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...

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...
I

Here it is! I hope I tabbed everything out correctly, because, as you can
see there is quite a bit to tab out.
