[C] [Dm] [G] [C] [A]
[Dm] [G] [C]
[A] [Dm] I'm sitting [G] by the side of [C] a river [Dm] [G] Underneath a pale blue [C] sky
[Dm] I've got no [G] need to worry [C] I'm in no hurry
[Dm] I'm looking [G] at the world [C] go by [Dm] [G] Just sitting [C] in the [A] midday sun
[Dm] [G] Just soaking [C] up that [A] current fun [Dm] With [G] no [C] particular purpose [A] or reason
[Dm] I'm sitting [G] in the [C] midday sun
[Dm] Everybody [G] say [C] I'm lazy They [Dm] all [G] tell me get a [C] job you slob
But [Dm] I'd rather [G] be a [C] hobo Walking round with nothing
[Dm] Than a rich [G] man scared of [C] losing all his God
[Dm] [G] So I'm just [C] sitting in the [A] midday sun [Dm] [G] Just soaking [C] up that [A] current fun
[Dm] [G] Why should I have [C] to give my [A] reasons?
[Dm] Just sitting [G] in the [C] midday sun
[F] [Em] All the [G] ladies looking [C] their best [G] in their [C] summer dresses
[F] [Em] Just sitting in the sun [Dm] I've got no [Em]
reason [F] to [G] have a sunny world
[F] I [G] haven't got a steady [C] occupation And [F] I can't [G] afford a [C] telephone
And [Dm] I haven't [G] got a stereo, [C] radio or video [Dm] A mortgage, [G]
overdraft or [C] bank loan
[Dm] [G] The only [C] way that I can [Am] get my fun [Dm] [G] Is by [C] sitting in the [Am] midday sun
[Dm] [G] With no [C] particular purpose [A] or reason [Dm] Sitting [G] in the [C] midday sun
[F] I [Em] listen to the people [Dm] who say [C] I'm a failure [G] And [C] [F] I [Em]
live they would only see
[Dm] I've got no pride [Em] I've got no one
[F] Who needs a job when [G] it's sunny
[Dm]
[G] Everybody thinks [C] I'm crazy [Dm] And [G] everybody says [C] I'm dumb
But [Dm] when I [G] see the people [C] shouting at each other [Dm] I'd rather [G] be an out of [C] work bum
So [Dm]
[G] I'm just [C] sitting in the [A] midday sun [Am] [Dm] [G]
Just soaking up [C] that [A] current fun
[Dm] [G] With no [C] particular purpose [A] or reason [Dm] I'm sitting [G] in the [C] midday sun
[A] [Dm] [G] [C] [A] [Dm] [G]
[C] [A] [Dm] [G]
