The Grateful Dead- One More Saturday Night
Music and Lyrics by Bob Weir
Tabbed by Joshua Grant, by ear with some help from the musical scores.

This is an excellent song with a fast-bright-bluesy feel, great lyrics, and a classic 
2 guitar intro.
Its also great to jam the transition from chorus to verse.  Much of the verse lead is done 
with keyboard, 

but it works with a second guitar.

...went down to the mountain, I was drinkin' some wine

I looked up into heaven, Lord I saw a mighty sign

Writin' fire 'cross the heaven plain as black and white

Get prepared,	theres gonna be a party tonight,     uh huh!

F7
		Hey, Saturday night!

		One more Satur-day ni-ight!

		Hey,   Saturday niiight!
C7 (four bars, then back to verse).

Verse 2:
Everybody's dancing down at the local armory,
With a basement fulla dynamite and live artillery.
Temperature keeps rising, everybody gettin' high
Come the rockin' stroke of midnight, the whole place is gonna fly!

Verse 3:
I turn on Channel Six, the President comes on the news,
Says "I get no satisfaction, thats why I sing the blues!"
His wife says don't get crazy, you know just what to do,
Just crank the ol' Victrola,  put on your rockin' shoes, uh huh...

Verse 4:
Then God way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth
Thought he'd have a big ol' party, thought he'd call it planet earth.
Don't worry bout tomorow', lord you'll know it when it comes.
When the rockin' rollin' music meets the risin' shinin' sun, uh huh...
