David Allan Coe The 33rd of August [Intro] D G A D [Verse]
DWell, today there's nGo salvation The band's packed up and gone A And I'm left standing with my penny, in my hand D DThere's a big crowd at the station WhGere the blind Aman sings his song But he sees, Lord, what they can't understand D
[Chorus]
It's the 33Grd of August, Lord And I'm finally coming down D Em Eight days from Sunday findAs me, Saturday bouDnd
DOnce I stumbled through the darGkness Fell down to my knees A A thousand voices sDcreaming in my brain DWoke up, in a squad car Busted down Gfor vagrancy A And outside my cell, it surDe as hell, it looked like rain
DNow I've got my, dangerous Gfeeling Under lock and chaAin, I've killed my violeDnt nature with a smile DThough the demons danced and sang their sGongs Within my feverAed brain Not all my God-like thouDghts, Lord, were defiled
[Chorus]
DYesterday's newspaper, forecast no raEmin for Atoday Yesterday's news wasD old news, so I threw it away DSome time's at night, Lord, you know I can still feEmel thGe pain And, outside my cell, iAt sure as hell, it looks like rain
