 Dm             C
The taxman's taken all my dough
     F              C
And left me in my stately home
A      G   F    E    Dm
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
             C
And I can't sail my yacht
      F           C
He's taken everything I've got
A         G        F     E   Dm
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

D7                                     G7
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
            C7                       F     A7
I got a big fat mama tryin' to break me
      Dm                G7
And I love to live so pleasantly
 Dm               G7  C7
Live this life of luxury
F            A7        Dm  C  B  Bb
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
        A     G  F  E
In the summertime
    Dm             C
My girlfriend's run off with my car
     F              C
And gone back to her ma and pa
A      G   F    E    Dm
Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty
            C
Now I'm sittin' here
Dm                         F
Sippin' at my ice-cooled beer
A         G        F     E   Dm
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon

D7                                     G7
Help me, help me, help me sail away
            C7                       F         A7
Or give me two good reasons why I oughta stay
      Dm                G7
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
 Dm               G7  C7
Live this life of luxury
F            A7        Dm  C  B  Bb
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
        A     G  F  E
In the summertime
