Capo 4


G            Am        C                D
In my secret hideaway, I would play all night 
G                                Am
So if you go out, hope you don't want me to 
           C                 D
I've got a rendezvous with a stack of 45's 


G Am C D


G              Am                 C
Saturday night sittin' home alone disconnect the phone, 
D
Put those records on 
G              Am                        C
Up in my room, tryin' to find the chords learning all the words
D
To all my favorite songs
Am Em                D              G
I love to hear those voices talk in rhymes
Am Em                   D             G
I know I've played this one a hundred times, 
      Am                  C       D
And I know the songs will end too soon, 
         Am               D           G
When I'm listenin' to the music in my room 


Am Em D G Am Em D


G            Am
Up in my bed by the radio 
C                     D
Kept it turned so low listenin' in the dark 
G                Am
Closing my eyes, whispering along 
C                    D
Waiting for the song that always hit the mark 
Am  Em              D                 G
I counted two's and four's instead of sheep 
Am  Em              D            G
I sailed across the Mersey in my sleep 
      Am                   C       D
And I knew the songs would end too soon 
       Am              D           G
When I listened to the music in my room 


Am Em D G Am Em C D


       Am                Em      D       G
It was something to take with me where I went 
Am         Em              D
Secret and seductive in my ear 
Am               Em        D     G
Oh, wondering if all those hours spent 
Am                Em           D
Lost in something I could only hear

 
G              Am
Saturday night always here and gone 
C                  D  
Sunday comes along Friday seems so far 
G                  Am
Sitting in school, groovin' in my chair 
C                      D
Tap the desk and stare And dream of my guitar 
Am  Em           D             G
I drifted off in waves of rock and roll 
Am    Em            D            G
And I wondered if I had a rubber soul 
      Am                   C       D
And I knew the songs would end too soon 
       Am              D           G
When I listened to the music in my room 


G                               Am
So if you go out hope you don't want me to 
           C                 D         G
I've got a rendezvous with a stack of 45's
