easier transition between chords. You can also play the intro for the verses to change things

Verse 1:
E             B    A
My Friend the Communist
E              B      A
Holds meetings in his RV
E         B        A
I can?t afford his gas
E                 B        A
So I?m stuck here watching TV
E            B   A
I don?t have digital
E            B      A
I don?t have diddly squat
E              B        A
Its not having what you want
E           B           A
Its wanting what you?ve got

Chorus:
E                     B
I?m gonna soak up the sun
                    A
I?m gonna tell everyone
           B
To lighten up (I?m gonna tell ?em that)
E                  B
I?ve got no one to blame
                      A
For every time I feel lame
            B
I?m looking up
I?m gonna soak up the sun (Repeat intro on ?sun? on this line, do 2x)
I?m gonna soak up the sun

Verse 2:
E          B      A
I?ve got a crummy job
E            B     A
It don?t pay near enough
E          B         A
To buy the things it takes
E         B            A
To win me some of your love

Change:
E
Every time I turn around
    B                  A
I?m looking up, you?re looking down
E
Maybe something?s wrong with you
     B                 A
That makes you act the way you do
Chorus repeat

E             B      A
Don?t have no master suite
E             B       A
I?m still the king of me
E          B     A
You have a fancy ride, but baby
E               B       A
I?m the one who has the key
Change:
E
Every time I turn around
    B                  A
I?m looking up, you?re looking down
E
Maybe something?s wrong with you
     B                 A
That makes you act the way you do
E          B     A
Maybe I am crazy too

              B
So I can rock on
