Verse 1
Em
G
T 'was early on a Saturday morn,
F
I was strollin' in the wood.
G
Am
Gm
I chanced upon a lady
G
who by the wayside stood.
I said, pray,
Gm
G
what would such a lass
as you be doin' here?
I've come to take some photographs,
Am
she said, as I drew near.
G
Said I to her, I do declare,
Am
this is a fateful day.
G
For I have come to photograph
the same as you did say.
Am
G
So I pulled out my Nikon F
and placed it in her hand.
Am
She said, that's quite a camera,
G
you've got it your command.
G
My camera so delighted her
G
that with no more delay,
She let me see her camera case
wherein her accessories lay.
I said to her, I'm sure you've
everything that can be bought.
Just let me stretch my tripod
A
before I take some shots.
Am
G
We photographed from haylofts
and up against the wall.
If you've not photographed
on a Saturday night,
you've not photographed at all.
Am
F
Am
G
She had her shutter opened wide
C
F
for daylight was all gone.
G
Likewise, my naked camera lens,
Am
A
it had it s filter on.
G
This lady had experience with cameras,
A
yes, indeed.
G
And I thought that her exposure's
the best I ever see'd.
A
G
Although she seemed to tire not,
as on and on we went.
F#m
Says, I will have to finish now,
Dbm
Am
A
my film supply is spent.
G
She said, I've had Minolta's,
A

Yoshika's,
Gm
and Rolay,
F
F
Hasselblad and Pentax,
G
likewise, a Polaroid, Miranda,
A
Leica,
Nicormat, a Kodak,
and the rest.
G
F#m
But now I've had your Nikon F,
I'm sure that it's the best.
