            [Intro]

Am  Am  E7  E7 Am Am E7 E7


[Verse 1]

     Am                G
The tax man's taken all my dough
     C            G
And left me in my stately home.
E7                         Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
              G
And I can't sail my yacht,
     C          G
He's taken everything I've got,
E7                           Am
All I've got this sunny afternoon.


[Chorus 1]

A7                                  D7
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze,
         G                            C   E7
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
      Am              D7
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Am                D7    G
Live this life of luxury,
C            E7        Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon,
       E7
In the summertime,
       Am                 E7
In the summertime, in the summertime.


[Verse 2]

    Am                  G
My girlfriend's run off with my car
    C                G
And gone back to her ma and pa
E7                               Am
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
         G
Now I'm sitting here,
C             G
Sipping on my ice cold beer,
E7                     Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.


[Chorus 2]
A7                             D7
Help me, help me, help me sail away,
              G                             C    E7
Well, give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.
      Am                 D7
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Am                D7     G
Live this life of luxury,
C           E7         Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon,
       E7
In the summertime,
       Am                  E7
In the summertime, in the summertime.


[Chorus 1]

A7                                  D7
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze,
         G                           C   E7
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
       Am             D7
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Am                    D7  G
Live this life of luxury,
C           E7         Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon,
       E7
In the summertime,
       Am                 E7
In the summertime, in the summertime.


[Outro]

       Am                 E7
In the summertime, in the summertime,


Then just quietly strum Am until fade (or sudden ending depending on which album you got it on).
This was tabbed by Huw Wilson-Thomas, England.
