E♭ major118 BPM4/43:59Stadium Countryhigh confidence
Capo 1 — play the shapes in D and it sounds in E♭ major. Much easier than fingering E♭ major straight.
Verse 1
Roll on in and we drop it low
Spread a blanket in the pickup bed
Kill the engine, lights down slow
Big white screen glowin' up ahead
Popcorn warm and the dusk turns gold
Half the county parked, young and old
Pre-Chorus
The big screen glows and the sky goes black
Slide on over, no turnin' back
Chorus
Saturday night at the drive-in
Lights go down on the gravel row
Pull you close as the warm winds blow
Movie playin' soft and slow
Stars come out and the whole sky glows
Magic only summer knows
Saturday night at the drive-in
Nothin' but you and the picture show
Verse 2
Second feature, the night rolls on
Half the trucks 'round us already gone
You curl in close as the screen burns bright
Nothin' out here but us and the night
Headlights dark and the stars hang low
Wish this reel would never go
Pre-Chorus
The big screen glows and the sky goes black
Slide on over, no turnin' back
Chorus
Saturday night at the drive-in
Lights go down on the gravel row
Pull you close as the warm winds blow
Movie playin' soft and slow
Stars come out and the whole sky glows
Magic only summer knows
Saturday night at the drive-in
Nothin' but you and the picture show
Bridge
Roll! — down the windows
Roll! — through the night
Roll! — that silver picture
Roll! — hold me tight
Final Chorus
Saturday night at the drive-in
Lights go down on the gravel row
Pull you close as the warm winds blow
Movie playin' soft and slow
Stars come out and the whole sky glows
Magic only summer knows
Saturday night at the drive-in
Nothin' but you and the picture show
Outro
Saturday night at the drive-in
Nothin' but you and the picture show
Saturday night at the drive-in

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
Download note mapA lead sheet, not a full score. The melody line has been reduced automatically from the recording and paired with the detected chords. Expect the shape of the tune to be right and the details to be approximate.
