Desperado
1973
I took some time one Friday night and figured this one out. I don't know if it's right
but it's pretty close. I really like the song so have lots of fun.

It seems like a dream now, it was so long ago,

The moon burned so bright and the time went so slow,

And I swore that I loved her and gave her a ring.
D D7 G
The bluebird was high on the wing.
CHORUS:
C G Am G
Whatever happened to Saturday night?
C G Am7 F
Finding a sweetheart and holding her tight?
C G Am G
She said "Tell me, oh, tell me, was I alright?"
C G Am G
Whatever happened to Saturday night?
G Em Am
The years brought the railroad it ran by my door.
D C D7
Now there's boards on the windows and dust on the floor
G Em Am
And she passes the time at another man's side,
D D7 G
And I pass the time with my pride.
