Song title:      Saturday Sun
Original Album:  Intriguer

Words and Music by Neil Finn
Copyright © 2010 EMI Records Ltd.

NOTES:
The basic chords are G, Bm and F#m in the intro but Neil varies the G 
by adding notes as I've tried to indicate. You may have to fret the open G
with your 3rd and 4th fingers in order to play the notes in-between.
Or, if you have a better way, do that...

Yes, I've indicated two ways of fretting the D and F chords. You can hear 
Neil slide up from the D to the F in the verse. For the F to G transition I 
play a normal open F. 

Not sure that I have the lyrics exactly ("cadmium sun"?) as this was taken 
from a radio broadcast...

VERSE:
G                   Bm                       G
It's a Saturday Sun    and the game is still on
                   F#m                  G
And the waiting is done, it's all about you
                          Bm                G
As he calls out your name    on a hill far away
                        F#m                     D
He's looking down from above, it's all about to change


CHORUS:
     F       F              G(4int)
He's insane, calling on the day
         Bb                D
'Til the clouds get blown away
      D          F        F                G(4int)
While inside his mind lie all of space and time
          Bb            D
He's been waiting for a sign


VERSE:
It's a Saturday Sun and the madness is won
And the night has been sung out of existence
And my head is all right, was the darkest of nights
And the cadmium sun...


CHORUS:
...is calling on the day
'Til the clouds get blown away
Memories inside his mind lie all of space and time
He's been waiting for a sign


BRIDGE:
E                                  G
Looking for a revelation, maybe or visions of the Underworld
Asus4(add9)                                               G
when you saw the first light, then you know it's alright


VERSE:
It's a Saturday Sun and the nightmare is done
                   D    F   F   G    Bb   D   
And the work has begun

D            F     F             G
And the tiny waves covers up the sky
          Bb               D
Makes the darkness come to life
        D          F      F                      G
Whereas inside his heart, everything he wants to know,
Bb                    D
Every place he has to go


OUTRO:
G     A  Bm
da da da da da da da da...

[repeat]

G           A  D
da da da da da da
