The 33rd Of August Chords & Lyrics - Mickey Newbury

[D]Mmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmm[G]mmmmmmm
Dororo[F]rororo ro[Bb]rororo Do doro do [A]ro ro roro [D]rorororo

[D]Lord, today there is no salvation, [G]the band packed up and gone
[A]Left me standing with my penny in my [D]hand
There's a big crowd at the station where the [G]blind man sings his songs
[A]But he can see what they can't, under[D]stand.

[CHORUS]
It's the [G]thirty-third of August and I'm finally touching [D]down
[G]Eight days from [Em]Sunday finds me [A]Saturday [D]bound

Once I stumbled through the darkness, tumbled to my knees
A thousand voices screaming in my brain
Woke up in a squad car busted down for vagrancy
Outside my cell as sure as hell it looked like rain

But now I've put my dangerous feelings under lock and chain
Yes, I killed my violent nature with a smile
Though the demons danced and sung their songs within my fevered brain
Not all my God-like thoughts Lord were defiled
