Verse
G
There was a sheet metal moon
The night that Jimmy lost his life
CDG
Swimming in the carburetor lines
G
He was last seen kissing
The rings of the pistons
CDG
And drinking with the gears as they grind
Chorus
C
Saturday night
G
And the sheet metal moon
D
Plays tricks with my eyes
C
As it burns through the fumes
C
The sheet metal moon shines
G
We'd better take a ride
D
Out to the bridge
C
Where we used to get high
Verse
G
The skinny kid said
Jimmy couldn't be dead
C
He just went out to get
DG
Some speed and kill the pain
G
Crossing double lines
And shutting down his headlights
CDG
And passing in the oncoming lanes
Chorus
C
Saturday night
G
And the sheet metal moon
D
Plays tricks with my eyes
C
As it burns through the fumes
C
The sheet metal moon shines
G
We'd better take a ride
D
Out to the bridge
C
Where we used to get high
Bridge
GD
But there seems to be no sign
AmC
As the timing chain is throwing links
GD
And not keeping time
AmC
As the manifold is gasping as
GD
The rocker arms wave goodbye
Am
From under the bridge
CGCm
Where everybody got high
GCm
High
Verse
G
And the black line you struck
And kid, it's just your luck
CDG
It looks like you crippled your frame
G
The wells won't hold
And the bolts all broke
C
And the shards of glass
DG
Are swimming in your brain
Chorus
C
Saturday night
G
And the sheet metal moon
D
Lights up the road
C
As I drive to the tune
C
The sheet metal moon and I
G
Are riding alone
D
Out to the bridge
C
Where we used to get stoned
C
Saturday night
G
And the sheet metal moon
D
Is still playing tricks
C
As I walk through the rooms
C
I drank all the fuel
G
As I breathe in the fumes
D
Out on West Adams Road
C
When I went looking for you
C
Saturday night
G
And the sheet metal moon
D
Plays tricks with my eyes
C
As it burns through the fumes
C
The sheet metal moon shines
G
We'd better take a ride
D
Out to the bridge
C
Where we used to get high
Bridge
