In the Summertime Lyrics

The taxman's taken all my dough,
and left me in my stately home,
A G F E Dm (Play as second part of intro, i.e barre chords)
lazin' on a sunny afternoon.
And I can't sail my yacht,
he's taken everything I've got.
(Play as 2nd part of intro)
All I've got's this sunny afternoon.
Chorus:
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze,
I've got a big fat mama tryin' to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
lazin' on a sunny afternoon,
in the summertime...
in the summertime...
Verse:
My girlfriend's run off with my car,
And gone back to her ma and pa.
A G F E Dm (Play as 2nd part of intro)
Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
Now I'm sittin' here,
Sippin' at my ice-cooled beer,
(Play as 2nd part of intro)
All I've got's this sunny afternoon.
Chorus:
Help me, help me, help me sail away,
or give me two good reasons why I oughta stay
Cuz I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
lazin' on a sunny afternoon,
in the summertime...
in the summertime...
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze,
I've got a big fat mama tryin' to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
lazin' on a sunny afternoon,
in the summertime...
in the summertime...
End on Dm
