Intro

Verse 1

The tax man's taken all my dough

And left me in my statley home.

Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

And i can't sail my yacht,

He's taken everything i've got,

All i've got this sunny afternoon.

Chorus 1

Save me, Save me, Save me from this squeeze,

I got a big fat mama trying to break me.

And i love to live so pleasantly,

Live this life of luxury,

Lazing on a sunny afternoon,

In the summertime,

In the summertime, In the summertime.

Verse 2

My girlfriends run off with my car

And gone back to her ma and pa

Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.

Now i'm sitting here,

Sipping on my ice cold beer,

Lazing on a sunny after noon.

Chorus 2

Help me, Help me, Help me sail away,

Well, give me two good reasons why i oughta stay.

'Cause i love to live so pleasantly

Live this life of luxury,

Lazing on a sunny afternoon,

In the summertime,

In the summertime, In the summertime.

(then its just Chorus 1 again)

Outing

In the summertime, In the summertime,

Then just quietly strum Am until fade (or sudden ending depending on which album you got it on)
