-----
 
Bb                Eb
Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
F                   Bb  G  Eb  F
It's time to say goodbye...      let me tell you, now
Bb                Eb
Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
F                   Bb    (/B)
It's time to say goodbye
 
Cm                  F                Bb
    Now, all night long you've been drinking your tequilla
Cm                  F                     Bb
    But now you've sucked your lemon peel dry,
               G
So why not get high, high, high
    Eb          F                  Bb   G  Eb  F
And good  night ladies, ladies goodnight
 
Bb                   Eb
Goodnight ladies, ah, ladies goodnight
F                   Bb  G  Eb  F
It's time to say goodbye
Bb                           Eb
Goodnight sweet ladies, oh, ladies goodnight
F                   Bb    (/B)
It's time to say goodbye, bye-bye
 
Cm                  F                Bb
Ah, we've been together for the longest time
Cm                  F         Bb
But now it's time to get high
                    G
Come on, let's get high, high, high
    Eb          F                 Bb   G  Eb  F
And goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
 
Bb                        C7
Oh, I'm still missing my other half
Eb                             Bb
Oh, it must be something I did in the past
Eb           Bb              G
Don't it just make you wanna laugh
       C7               F
It's a lonely Saturday night
 
Bb                        C7
Oh, nobody calls me on the telephone
Eb                            Bb
I put another record on my stereo
Eb                      Bb      G
But I'm still singing a song of you
        C7     F       Bb     A
It's a lonely Saturday night
 
     Dm                      A
Now, if I was an actor, or a dancer who is glamorous
      Dm   /    /          A/D /   /          Dm / A/D / Dm /  /
Then, you know, an amorous life would soon be mine
             G
But now the tinsel light of star break
              G7
Is all that's left to applaud my heart break
     C7                                F
And eleven o'clock I watch the network news
 
           Bb                                C7
Oh, woh, woh, something tells me that you're really gone
Eb                                 Bb
You said we could be friends, but that's not what I want
Eb                Bb               G
Ah, anyway, my TV-dinner's almost done
        C7    F        Bb
It's a lonely Saturday night
          G                C7     F         Bb
I mean to tell you, it's a lonely Saturday night
         G            C7     F        Bb      F/Bb
One more word, it's a lonely Saturday night

Much easier transposed -1 and capo 1. Accurate as all hell, though.
