Sunny Afternoon

The Kinks

Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb  A A/G A/F A/E (x2)
                 Dm                    C
          The taxman's taken all my dough
                 F                    C
          And left me in my stately home
          A        A/G  A/F    A/E  Dm
          Lazing on a sunny afternoon

          And I can't sail my yacht
          He's taken everything I've got
          All I've got's this sunny afternoon
                                                                    D

                         D7                                                         G          G7
                         Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
                                    C                   C7                      F     (A)(G)(F)(E)
                         I got a big fat mama trying to break me
                                  Dm                  G
                         And I love to live so pleasantly
                         Dm                   G      G7
                         Live this life of luxury
                         C                 A       A/G  Dm    Dm/C   Dm/B   Dm/Bb
                         Lazing on a sunny afternoon

                                                     A        A/G     A/F   A/E
                                          In the summertime
                                                     Dm     Dm/C     Dm/B   Dm/Bb
                                          In the summertime
                                                     A        A/G     A/F   A/E
                                          In the summertime

          My girlfriend's run off with my car
          And gone back to her ma and pa
          Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty

          Now I'm sitting here
          Sipping at my ice cold beer
          Lazing on a sunny afternoon

                         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
                         Lazing on a sunny afternoon

                                          In the summertime
                                          In the summertime
                                          In the summertime

                         Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
                         I got a big fat mama trying to break me
                         And I love to live so pleasantly
                         Live this life of luxury
                         Lazing on a sunny afternoon

                                          In the summertime
                                          In the summertime
                                          In the summertime

                                          In the summertime
                                          In the summertime...
                                                                               D2
