Intro: C#m F# B G#7 C#m F# B G#7 C#m
F# B C#m
I'm sitting by the side of a river
F# B
Underneath the pale blue sky
C#m F# B
Got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
C#m F# B C#m
I'm looking at the world going by
CHORUS:
F# B G#7 C#m
Just sitting in the midday sun
F# B G#7 C#m
Just soaking up that currant bun
F# B G#7
With no particular purpose or reason
C#m F# B C#m
Sitting in the midday sun
F# B
Everybody see I'm lazing
C#m F# B
They all say, "Get a job, you slob"
C#m F# B
I'd rather be a hobo walking 'round with nothing
C#m F# B C#m
Than a rich man's scatterings and all new scars
CHORUS:
F# B G#7 C#m
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
F# B G#7 C#m
Just soaking up that currant bun
F# B G#7
With no particular purpose or reason
C#m F# B E
Sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
D#m
Ohh, look at all the lazies
C#m B F# B E
Looking their best in their summer dresses
D#m
Ohh, sitting in the sun
C#m D#m
I've got no home, I've got no money
E F# C#m
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
F# B C#m
Haven't got a steady occupation
F# B C#m
And I can't afford a telephone
F# B G#7 C#m
Haven't got a stereo radio or video
F# B C#m
Mortgage, overdraft or bank loan
CHORUS:
F# B G#7 C#m
The only way that I can get my fun
F# B G#7 C#m
Is by soaking up the midday sun
F# B G#7
I don't have to give my reason
C#m F# B E
For sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
D#m
Ohh, listen to the people
C#m B F# B E
Say I'm a loser and I've got nothing
D#m
Ohh, if they could only see
C#m D#m
I've got my pride, I've got no money
E F# C#m
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
CHORUS:
F# B G#7 C#m
I'm just sitting in the midday sun
F# B G#7 C#m
Just a-soaking up that currant bun
F# B G#7
With no particular purpose or reason
C#m F# B G#7
Sitting in the midday sun
C#m F# B G#7
Sitting in the midday sun
C#m F# B
Sitting in the midday sun
