The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon: chords

     Dm             C
The tax man's taken all my dough
     F              C
And left me in my stately home.
A7                      Dm
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
             C
And I can't sail my yacht,
      F           C
He's taken everything I've got,
A7                          Dm
All I've got this sunny afternoon.

Chorus:
D7                                  G7
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze,
         C                            F  A7
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
       Dm               G7
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Dm                 G7    C
Live this life of luxury,
 F           A7        Dm
Lazing on a sunny afternoon,
       A7
In the summertime,
       Dm                 A7
In the summertime, in the summertime.

My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sittin' here
Sippin' at my ice-cold beer
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon

Chorus:
Help me, help me, help me sail away
Well, give me two good reasons why I oughta stay
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

Oh, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryna 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
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
