THE 33RD OF AUGUST
As recorded by Joan Baez
(From the 1971 Album BLESSED ARE...)
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Lord today, there's no salvation, Cthe band's packed up and gone
DLeft me standing with my penny in Gmy hand
There's a big crowd at the station where the Cblind man sings his song
But Dhe can see what they can't underGstand
[Chorus]
Its the Cthirty-third of August and I'm finally touching Gdown
AmEight days from Sunday leaves mDe Saturday Gbound
[Verse 2]
GOnce I stumbled through the darkness, Ctumbled to my kneeDs
A thousand voices screaming in Gmy brain
Woke up in a squad car, busted Cdown for vagrancy
DOutside my cell as sure as hell, it Glooked like rain
[Chorus]
Its the Cthirty-third of August and I'm finally touching Gdown
AmEight days from Sunday leaves mDe Saturday Gbound
[Verse 3]
GBut now I've got my dangerous feelings Cunder lock and chain
DKilled my violent nature with a Gsmile
Though the demons danced and sang their song withCin my fevered brain
DNot all my God-like thoughts, Lord, were deGfiled
[Chorus]
Its the Cthirty-third of August and I'm finally touching Gdown
AmEight days from Sunday leaves mDe Saturday Gbound
