Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I don't have a job

I never liked them

I just wanna play in the sunshine

They say I was wrong

But I know better

I live my life like I'm dying

Gimme a chance

I'll do my best to kick and scream and dance

When winter comes I'll turn around

Chorus

Take me back to the sweet times

The hot nights

Everything is gonna be alright

In the summertime

Baby, in the summertime

And even if I have to wait til next year

I don't care

All I know is that I'll meet you there

In the summertime

Baby, in the summertime

That is where I'll be

Verse 2

I can't complain

'Cos I'm still breathing

There's nobody breathing down my neck now

Gimme a go

Like an open furnace setting fire to snow

When winter comes I'll ask the crowd

Chorus

So let me run

I'll dream until my head weighs 16 tonnes

And when I wake sometime in June

I'll say

Chorus x2

NOTE: in the last chorus the ending is a bit different-

All I know is that I'll meet you there

In the summertime

Baby, in the summertime

Baby, in the summertime

Baby, in the summertime

That is where I'll be
