D  {riff}         G         F  F 
Friday night, I'm on my way home 
     D  {riff} 
They oughta make work a crime 
                 G     F 
I'm home for the weekend 
          D {riff} 
I'm gonna make the most of my time 
          G                    F               D {riff} 
There's a rock-and-roll singer on the television 
       G                   F              D {riff} 
Giving up his music, gonna take up religion 
 
Deserted rock and roll 
To try to save his soul 
 
Saturday night, gotta gig with the band 
Playing the electric guitar 
Someday I'm gonna make it 
Gonna be a super-duper-star 
Get a flashy car 
And a house for my mum 
The big break better happen soon 
'Cause I'm pushing twenty-one 
 
G 
Just like Cinderella 
                       Eb             C 
When she just couldn't go to the ball 
               G 
A voice said, "I'm your fairy manager 
         Eb       C 
You shall play at Carnegie Hall." 
G             Eb      C 
 Gotta give up my day job 
G       Eb        C 
 To become a heartthrob 
G   Eb      C     G Eb          D D D D D D D 
 I may go far if I smash my guitar 
 
Away for the weekend 
I've gotta play some one-night stands 
Six for the tax man, and one for the band 
Back in the studio to make our latest number one 
Take two-hundred-and-seventy-six 
You know, this used to be fun

Monday morning, I just got home 
Six and the birds are singing 
I need a drink and my clothes are wet 
Ooh, and my ears are still ringing 
There's a rock and roll singer boppin' on the TV 
He used to be a preacher, but now he sings in a major key 
 
Amended his decision to the new religion 
 
Deserted   Rock and roll to try to save his soul
