Blast from the past!

I started playing guitar in the Summer of 1994. I believe I wrote this song (my first) in October of that year. I'm quite surprised to find that 12-year-old me was a better songwriter than half the grunge bands of the era (I'm looking at you, Gin Blossoms).

verse 1

[F#] Sitting quiet [C#] ly in my room [A] Passing hours [B] playing guitar

[F#] Writing lrics [C#] soon forgotten [A] as the hours pro [B] gress

[F#] Boredom over [C#] takes me slowly [A] nothing to do [B] have no money

[F#] Cable went out [C#] car is busted [A] radio just [B] sucks


refrain

[F#] Saturday [A] boredom like [G#] old Levi [G] athan

Its [F#] suffo [A] cating my [G#] will to sur [B] vive

Will [F#] someone re [A] move it I [G#] can not [G] move it

Put [F#] hook in its [A] mouth or run [G#] line round its [B] tounge


verse 2

Phone has remained dead for hours, no one ever cares to call me

Trapped inside this hellish prison wiht nowhere to go

Lock the door and toss the key I’m trapped here for eternity

Destined to become a meal for the leviathan


refrain

Saturday Boredom like old Leviathan

My guitar remains my true companion

Angel don’t leave me, I just want you to be

The one who will help me survive Saturday
