Book of Saturday

King Crimson
Tab
4.4(14)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse 1

I

If I only could deceive you

Forgetting the game

I

Every time I try to leave you

You laugh just the same

II

'Cause my wheels never touch the road

And the jumble of lies we told

Just returns to my back to weigh me down...

Verse 2

I

We lay cards upon the table

The backs of our hands

I

And I swear I like your people

The boys in the band

III

Reminiscences gone astray

Coming back to enjoy the fray

In a tangle of night and daylight sounds...

Instrumental

IV

V

III

VI

Verse 3

VII

All completeness in the morning

Asleep on your side

I'll be waking up the crewmen

Banana-boat ride

She responds like a limousine

Brought alive on the silent screen

To the shuddering breath of yesterday...

Verse 3

I

There's the succour of the needy

Incredible scenes

I'll believe you in the future

Your life and death dreams

VIII

As the cavalry of despair

Takes a stand in the lady's hair

For the favour of making sweet sixteen...

Outro

You make my life and times

A book of bluesy Saturdays

And I have to chose...

Here it is! I hope I tabbed everything out correctly, because, as you can

see there is quite a bit to tab out.
