verse 1
Dm C7
The tax man's taken all my dough
F C7
And left me in my stately home
A7 A7/G A7/F A7/E Dm
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
C7 F C7
And I can't sail my yacht, he's taken everything I've got
A7 A7/G A7/F A7/E Dm
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
D7 G7
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
C7 F A7
I got a big fat mama trying to break me
Dm G7 D7 G7 C7
And I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury
F A7 Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb
Lazing on a sunny afternoooooooooooooooooooon

In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car
F C7
And gone back to her ma and pa
A7 A7/G A7/F A7/E Dm
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty

Now I'm sitting here, sipping at my ice cold beer
A7 A7/G A7/F A7/E Dm
Lazing on a sunny afternoon

Help me, help me, help me sail away

Give me two good reasons why I oughta stay

'Cos I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury
