verse 1 
         
Dm                   C7 
         
The tax man's taken all my dough 
     F             C7 
And left me in my stately home 
A7    A7/G   A7/F    A7/E   Dm 
Lazing on a sunny afternoon 
             C7                   F         C7 
And I can't sail my yacht, he's taken everything I've got 
A7        A7/G       A7/F   A7/E   Dm 
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze 
        C7                           F     A7 
I got a big fat mama trying to break me 
       Dm                G7         D7              G7   C7 
And I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury 
F            A7        Dm  Dm/C   Dm/B   Dm/Bb  
Lazing on a sunny afternoooooooooooooooooooon 
         A7       A7/G   A7/F   A7/E           Dm     Dm/C   Dm/B   Dm/Bb 
In the summertime                       in the summertime 
         A7    A7/G    A7/F    A7/E       
In the summertime                        
         

verse 2 

    Dm                   C7 
My girlfriend's run off with my car 
     F               C7 
And gone back to her ma and pa 
A7       A7/G     A7/F   A7/E     Dm 
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty 
           C7           F            C7 
Now I'm sitting here, sipping at my ice cold beer 
A7     A7/G   A7/F   A7/E   Dm 
Lazing on a sunny afternoon

Help me, help me, help me sail away 
        C7                             F        A7 
Give me two good reasons why I oughta stay 
        Dm               G7         D7                G7  C7
