Sheryl Crow Soak Up the Sun Lyrics

The Easiest way to do the intro riff is by making an Emaj bar chord
Intro:
In the actual song she uses continues to use the intro riff for the verses, but if
you want an easier way you can use these chords instead:
Verse 1:
My friend the communist holds meetings in his RV.
I can't afford his gas, so I'm stuck here watching TV.
I don't have digital. I don't have diddlysquat.
It's not having what you want. It's wanting what you've got.
Chorus:
I'm gonna soak up the sun. I'm Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
(start rift or verse chords)
I'm gonna soak up the sun.
Verse 2: (She uses the rift again here, but these are the chords anyways)
I've got a crummy job. It don't pay near enough.
To buy the things it takes To win me some of your love.
Bridge:
Every time I turn around I'm looking up, you're looking down.
Maybe something's wrong with you that makes you act the way you do.
Chorus:
I'm gonna soak up the sun. I'm Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
(start rift or verse chords)
The water's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
before it goes out on me.
Verse 3: (same as other verses)
Don't have no master suite, but I'm still the king of me.
You have a fancy ride, but baby I'm the one that has the key.
Bridge:
Every time I turn around I'm looking up, you're looking down.
Maybe something's wrong with you that makes you act the way you do.
Maybe I am crazy too!
Chorus:
I'm gonna soak up the sun. I'm Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun. Got my 45 on
So I can rock on.
