This is a great song that Van Morrison recorded in the late '60s which doesn't seem to get the recognition it deserves, maybe because it was never properly recorded and released. The 'working' version that came out on the Bang Masters compilation in 1990 is the only one available. I think it is probably played with a capo on the second fret (i.e. played as if in G), but the chords below are in A, i.e. open-string. I can figure out the tabs for the intro, but I'm not sure about the chords. ~Chandan Deuskar, May 2010 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

And the child held a ball In the garden with the old queen When ya kissed the lips and heart Another stranger, ya know what I mean And ya walked on the streets so lonely In your own childish way And ya thought that you would only, ha Do it for today And ya shined your glory all around Do not disguise what we did I asked you for half a pound and you said 'Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning kid' 'Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning kid' And just stood outside the club And the rain came down on his head And it he got all soakin' wet He says 'Go for yourself' I said, 'I know' Show Joe, I ain't conquered yet And I walk away from the backstreet in the rain And I saw how many times have I died Then we turned on outside of the bus shelter And I jumped on and said, 'Goodbye' And I shined my glory all around Did not disguise what I did Tried to keep it underground but they said 'Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid' FADES- You gotta Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning Saturday morning
