[Intro]
Am Am E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7
[Verse 1]
Am G The tax man's taken all my dough C G And left me in my stately home. E7 Am Lazing on a sunny afternoon. G And I can't sail my yacht, C G He's taken everything I've got, E7 Am All I've got this sunny afternoon.
[Chorus 1]
A7 D7 Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze, G C E7 I got a big fat mama trying to break me. Am D7 And I love to live so pleasantly, Am D7 G Live this life of luxury, C E7 Am Lazing on a sunny afternoon, E7 In the summertime, Am E7 In the summertime, in the summertime.
[Verse 2]
Am G My girlfriend's run off with my car C G And gone back to her ma and pa E7 Am Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty. G Now I'm sitting here, C G Sipping on my ice cold beer, E7 Am Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
[Chorus 2]
A7 D7 Help me, help me, help me sail away, G C E7 Well, give me two good reasons why I oughta stay. Am D7 'Cause I love to live so pleasantly Am D7 G Live this life of luxury, C E7 Am Lazing on a sunny afternoon, E7 In the summertime, Am E7 In the summertime, in the summertime.
[Chorus 1]
A7 D7 Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze, G C E7 I got a big fat mama trying to break me. Am D7 And I love to live so pleasantly, Am D7 G Live this life of luxury, C E7 Am Lazing on a sunny afternoon, E7 In the summertime, Am E7 In the summertime, in the summertime.
[Outro]
Am E7 In the summertime, in the summertime,
Then just quietly strum Am until fade (or sudden ending depending on which album you got it on).
