[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,
