(Do You Remember) The Saturday Gigs?

Sixty-nine was cheapo wine,
Have a good time,
What your sign
Float up to the Roundhouse
On a Sunday afternoon.

In Seventy we all agreed
A King's Road flat was the place to be
'Cause Chelsea girls are the best in the world for company.

In Seventy-one all [Em]the people come
Bust a few seats but it's just in fun
Take the Mick out of Top of the Pops
We play better than they do
In Seventy-two we was [Am7]born to [C7]lose
We slipped down snakes into [C7]yesterday's news
I was [Am7]ɾeady to [C7]quit
But then we went to [C7]Croydon

Do you [A7ɾemember the Saturday gigs
We do, we do
Do you [A7ɾemember the Saturday gigs
We do, we do

The tickets for [Dm7]the fantasy were twelve and [Bm]six a time
A fairy tale on [C7]sale

Oh, Seventy-three was [Am7]a jambouree
We were the dudes and [Bm]the dudes were we.
(oh oh oh oh oh)
Did you [A7see the suits and [Bm]the platform boots

In Seventy-four on [C7]the Broadway tour
We didn't much like [F]dressing up no more
Don't wanna be [Am]hip - but thanks for [Dm7]a great tɾip.

Do you [A7ɾemember the Saturday gigs
We do, we do
Do you [A7ɾemember the Saturday gigs
We do, we do
But now the kids pay a couple of quid
'Cause they need it just the same
It's all [Em]a game
A grown-up game

But you [A7got [Fm7]off on [C7]those Saturday gigs
And we did, we did
'Cause you [A7got [Fm7]off on [C7]those Saturday gigs
And we did, we did
And we got [Fm7]off on [C7]those Saturday gigs
And you [A7did, you [A7did
And we got [Fm7]off on [C7]those Saturday gigs
'Cause you [A7did, you [A7did

Don't you [A7ever forget us
We'll never forget you
We're going to [C7]sleep now
You better be [Am]good, ɾight (ha ha ha)
See you [A7next time
So long [Am]for [Dm7]now
