Intro 2x: D5  C5  B5  Bb5  A5  G5  F5  E5

     D5             C5
The taxman's taken all my dough
     F5              C5
And left me in my stately home
A5      G5   F5    E5    D5
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
             C5
And I can't sail my yacht
      F5           C5
He's taken everything I've got
A5         G5        F5     E5   D5
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

D5                                     G5
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
            C5                       F5     A5
I got a big fat mama tryin' to break me
      D5                G5
And I love to live so pleasantly
 D5               G5  C5
Live this life of luxury
F5            A5        D5  C5  B5  Bb5
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
        A5     G5  F5  E5
In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sittin' here
Sippin' at my ice-cooled beer
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Help me, help me, help me sail away
Or give me two good reasons why I oughta stay
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
