^{Key: :[C#m] (w: Ray Davies)}

INTRO: [/C#/B/A#/A/G#/F#/E/D#] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
The [C#m] taxman's taken [B] all my dough
and [E] left me in my [B7] stately home
[G#7] lazing on a sunny after-[C#m]-noon
and I can't [B] sail my yacht
he's [E] taken every-[B7]-thing I've got
[G#7] all I've got's this sunny after-[C#m]-noon

CHORUS 1:
[C#7] Save me, save me, save me from this [F#7] squeeze
I've got a [B7] big fat mama tryin' to break [E] me [G#7]
And I [C#m] love to live so [F#7] pleasantly
[C#m] Live this life of [F#7] luxu-[B7]-ry
[E] Lazing on a [G#7] sunny after-[INTRO]-noon
In the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime

VERSE 2:
My [C#m] girlfriend's run off [B] with my car
And [E] gone back to her [B7] ma and pa
[G#7] Tellin' tales of drunkenness and [C#m] cruelty
Now I'm [B] sittin' here, [E] sippin' at my [B7] ice-cooled beer
[G#7] Lazin' on a sunny after-[C#m]-noon

CHORUS 2:
[C#7] Help me, help me, help me sail [F#7] away
Or give me [B7] two good reasons why I ought a [E] stay [G#7]
Cause I [C#m] love to live so [F#7] pleasantly
[C#m] Live this life of [F#7] luxu-[B7]-ry
[E] Lazing on a [G#7] sunny after-[INTRO]-noon
In the summertime, in the summertime, in the summertime
