Intro: Em A D B7 Em A D B7 Em
A D Em
I'm sitting by the side of a river
A D
Underneath the pale blue sky
Em A D
Got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
Em A D Em
I'm looking at the world going by
CHORUS:
A D B7 Em
Just sitting in the midday sun
A D B7 Em
Just soaking up that currant bun
A D B7
With no particular purpose or reason
Em A D Em
Sitting in the midday sun
A D
Everybody see I'm lazing
Em A D
They all say, "Get a job, you slob"
Em A D
I'd rather be a hobo walking 'round with nothing
Em A D Em
Than a rich man's scatterings and all new scars
CHORUS:
A D B7 Em
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
A D B7 Em
Just soaking up that currant bun
A D B7
With no particular purpose or reason
Em A D G
Sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
F#m
Ohh, look at all the lazies
Em D A D G
Looking their best in their summer dresses
F#m
Ohh, sitting in the sun
Em F#m
I've got no home, I've got no money
G A Em
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
A D Em
Haven't got a steady occupation
A D Em
And I can't afford a telephone
A D B7 Em
Haven't got a stereo radio or video
A D Em
Mortgage, overdraft or bank loan
CHORUS:
A D B7 Em
The only way that I can get my fun
A D B7 Em
Is by soaking up the midday sun
A D B7
I don't have to give my reason
Em A D G
For sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
F#m
Ohh, listen to the people
Em D A D G
Say I'm a loser and I've got nothing
F#m
Ohh, if they could only see
Em F#m
I've got my pride, I've got no money
G A Em
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
CHORUS:
A D B7 Em
I'm just sitting in the midday sun
A D B7 Em
Just a-soaking up that currant bun
A D B7
With no particular purpose or reason
Em A D B7
Sitting in the midday sun
Em A D B7
Sitting in the midday sun
Em A D
Sitting in the midday sun
