Intro: Dm G C A7 Dm G C A7 Dm
G C Dm
I'm sitting by the side of a river
G C
Underneath the pale blue sky
Dm G C
Got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
Dm G C Dm
I'm looking at the world going by
CHORUS:
G C A7 Dm
Just sitting in the midday sun
G C A7 Dm
Just soaking up that currant bun
G C A7
With no particular purpose or reason
Dm G C Dm
Sitting in the midday sun
G C
Everybody see I'm lazing
Dm G C
They all say, "Get a job, you slob"
Dm G C
I'd rather be a hobo walking 'round with nothing
Dm G C Dm
Than a rich man's scatterings and all new scars
CHORUS:
G C A7 Dm
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
G C A7 Dm
Just soaking up that currant bun
G C A7
With no particular purpose or reason
Dm G C F
Sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
Em
Ohh, look at all the lazies
Dm C G C F
Looking their best in their summer dresses
Em
Ohh, sitting in the sun
Dm Em
I've got no home, I've got no money
F G Dm
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
G C Dm
Haven't got a steady occupation
G C Dm
And I can't afford a telephone
G C A7 Dm
Haven't got a stereo radio or video
G C Dm
Mortgage, overdraft or bank loan
CHORUS:
G C A7 Dm
The only way that I can get my fun
G C A7 Dm
Is by soaking up the midday sun
G C A7
I don't have to give my reason
Dm G C F
For sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
Em
Ohh, listen to the people
Dm C G C F
Say I'm a loser and I've got nothing
Em
Ohh, if they could only see
Dm Em
I've got my pride, I've got no money
F G Dm
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
CHORUS:
G C A7 Dm
I'm just sitting in the midday sun
G C A7 Dm
Just a-soaking up that currant bun
G C A7
With no particular purpose or reason
Dm G C A7
Sitting in the midday sun
Dm G C A7
Sitting in the midday sun
Dm G C
Sitting in the midday sun
