  Saturday Sun

  by Nick Drake

  Transcribed by Nick Gill (Number6@mindless.com)

  6/8 time

  

  Harlan L Thompson's <harlant@uhunix.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu> version (the one I've 

  seen nearly everywhere) isn't actually

  correct.  The D7/F# chord is actually an F# diminished (XX1212), and some of the

  Fs are really Dm7/F.  Pedantic, I know, but it sounds better and is more 

  accurate.  So, the real version goes like this.

  

  "Lead in"	|	G	|

  

  Intro verse 	|	C	|	G	|	Am	|	C      |

  		|     F#dim	|	G	|	C	|	G      |

  				   

  Verse 1		(as intro verse)

  

  Verse 2		(as intro verse)

  

  Verse 3		(as intro verse)

  

  Verse 4		|	C	|	G	|	Am	|	C      |

  		|     F#dim	|	G	|	C	|	C7     |

  

  Chorus1		|	F	|	F#o	|	C	|	A      |

  		|    Dm7 / F	|	G	|	C	|	C7     |

  

  Inter-verse	|	F	|	G	|

  

  Verse 5		(as intro verse)

  

  Verse 6		(as verse 5)

  

  Chorus2 	(as Chorus1)

  

  Rubato chorus	|	F	|	F#o	|	C	|	A      |

  		|    Dm7 / F	|	G	|	F	|	C      |

  

  

  Verse1

  Saturday sun came early one morning

  In a sky so clear and blue

  

  Verse2

  Saturday sun came without warning

  So no-one knew what to do.

  

  Verse3

  Saturday sun brought people and faces

  That didn't seem much in their day

  

  Verse4

  But when I remember those people and places

  They were really too good in their way

  

  Chorus1

  In their way, in their way 

  But Saturday sun won't come and see me today

  

  Inter-verse

  

  Verse5

  Think about stories with reason and rhyme

  Circling through your brain

  And think about people in their season and time

  Returning again and again

  

  Chorus2

  And again, and again

  But Saturday's sun has turned to Sunday's rain

  

  Rubato chorus

  So Sunday sat in the Saturday sun

  And wept for a day gone by

  

  As Harlan says, it's played on a piano, glockenspiel, contrebasse and voice with

  not a guitar in sight.  Nevertheless, it's quite possible to give a fair 

  rendition of it on a single guitar.
