Acadian Saturday Night Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

1 * * *

And it's oh____, don't the fiddles make you roll

4 * 6m *

Till your heart, she pounds like a hammer

1 * * *

There's a fat lady beating the piano like a drum

4 * 6m * 1 57 1 *

And everybody's higher than a kite____, on A-cadian Saturday Night

Grandpa said it was better in his day

The Mounties stayed away from the parties

And he didn't mind a fight, when the spirits got high

You could always throw them out in the snow

And the rum was better, and it came in bigger bottles

And the revenue cutters were slow

But the old Anne Marie has wings on the water

And there's nothing like Trinidad Light, (for Acadian Saturday Night)
