Intro: A 

D 
Me mates have gawn and left me  

Gawn off to a gig  

G                             D 
I’m down on me luck but they don't give a fig  
G 
I'm stuck at home here  
D 
Sick as a pig  
   A                             (Bass run to D) 
What a miserable saturday night  
D 
There’s nothing to do  

Nothing on the telly  
G 
Nothing in me pocket  
             D 
I’ve got nothing you see  
G                        D 
Plenny of nothing an’ plenny for me  
     A                     D 
What a miserable Saturday night  


                G 
I bet they’re down the boozer knocking it back  

They’re blagging the birds the dirty rats  

They’re giving 'em this and giving 'em that  
      A 
And I’m stuck at home here  
G 
Smoking joking mucking about  

They’re laughing loud and shouting out  

But I’ve got nothing to laugh about  
A 
’Cos I’m stuck at home  
                          D 
What a miserable Saturday night  


D 
I wish I’d have gawn round to see me old dad  
G                          D 
He don’t say a lot but he ain’t so bad  
G                                   D 
To think I’m still sitting here’s making me mad  
       A                         (Bass run to D) 
What a miserable Saturday night  
D 
Nothing to eat ’cos we’ve run out of bread  
G                            D 
The fire’s gawn out and the telly’s gawn dead  
G                             D 
I’ll make a cup of cocoa and shoot off to bed  
         A                   D 
What a miserable Saturday night  


                  G 
I bet they’ve probably brought some bits to stay  

And took ’em round Tubby’s takeaway  

And off they’ll go for a ride I’d say  
A 
An’ I’m stuck at home  

They’re having a whale of a time the dirty runts  

Bet they’re up to all kinds of stunts  

They’re putting their ’ands around their ear  
A 
And I’m stuck at home  
                          D   
What a miserable Saturday night  
 (Just play verse chords for outro) 
Whistle to endâ...
