Saturday's Heroes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]We [Em]used [Am]to s[C]it by the fireside[Em]
look[Am]ing back on [C]old times,
[F]God how I loved that old [C]man.
Certain little [Em]things [C]stand [Am]out in my mind
[C]Lik[D]e checkers and Prince
Alber[F]t cans[G]
Those [F]stories so [Dm]old,
every [C]time they [Am]were told
[Dm]I'd have to laugh,
[G]cause he'd stretch them jus[C]t a bit
And he [F]spoke of the [Fsus4]tears,
[F]in the depression years
He lived [C]the lines,
I'm just singing [F]his [Dm]songs
Like [C]railroad [Dm]hobos, Saturday's [G]heroes,
[C]he's [Em]gone[Am]
[G]He [C]said, son, I got religion
[Am]way back during [C]Prohibition.[F]
Said he was running from
a reven[C]uer's gun.
And I remember him grin[Em]ning,[C]
talking [Am]women and [C]sinning.
[D]He said, boy,
dang much it ain't [Gsus4]done[F][G]
Then he'd [F]rear back and laugh
[Dm]About some [C]things in his [Am]past
[Dm]Then I'd see a [G]little sadness in [C]his eyes
When he [F]spoke of the tears
[Fsus4]In the depres[F]sion years,
he [C]lived the lives
I'm just singing [F]his [Dm]songs
Like [C]railroad [Dm]hobos, Saturday's [G]heroes,
[C]he's [Em]gone[Am]
[G]Like Penny [C]Pepper and Candy,
[Dm]Amos and [G]Andy,
[F]he's gone.
[Fsus4][F][C][Dm][C]
