Here's one of Sam's songs, covered really well by Cat Stevens:
Another Saturday Night
Sam Cooke
CHORUS FBb Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody, FC I got some money cause I just got paid, FBb Oh, how I wish I had someone to talk to, FCF I'm in an awful way.
VERSE FBb I got in town a month ago, F7C7 And I seen a lot 'o girls since then, FF7 If I could meet 'em, I could get 'em, C7F But as yet I haven't met 'em, FCFC7 That's how I'm in the state I'm in.
CHORUS
VERSE
Another fella told me,
He had a sister who looked just fine,
Instead of bein' my deliverance,
She had a strange resemblance,
To a cat name of Frankenstein, Oh No-oh!
INSTRUMENTAL (Based on CHORUS)
VERSE
It's hard on a fella,
When he don't know his way around,
If I don't find me a honey,
To help me spend my money,
I'm gonna have to blow this town.
CHORUS (repeat) fade -- "You need the dark to see the stars."
