E                  A7
This ain't nothing but a little bitty town
                           C#
Roll up the sidewalks everything's shut down
F#
Down on the corner they're still hanging around
            A7                  E
'Cause it's Saturday night down south


[Verse 2]
E                            A7
Clock on the courthouse says eleven o'clock
                         C#
Kids in their cars still dragging the block
F#
People go to bed with their doors unlocked
            A7                  E
'Cause it's Saturday night down south


[Verse 2]
A7
Me and my baby on the front porch swing
E
Tonight's the night I'm gonna give her a ring
       B
And if she says yes, I'll have everything
C               B              E
Hot dog shut my mouth


[Verse]
E                           A7
Whippoorwill singing in the magnolia tree
E                            C#
Crickets making music for my baby and me
            F#
There ain't no other place that I'd rather be
          A7                  E
When it's Saturday night down south, yeah


[Verse]
A7
People down here like to take life slow
E                                 E7
There ain't no place they're in a hurry to go
B
Just take it easy kinda roll with the flow
C                 B                E
Take time to work things out


[Verse]
E                             A7
Full moon shining through the long leaf pines
E                        C#
Fireflies playing in the honeysuckle vine
F#
Everybody's grooving, everything's just fine
            A7                  E
'Cause it's Saturday night down south
