Intro: Cm F A# G7 Cm F A# G7 Cm
F A# Cm
I'm sitting by the side of a river
F A#
Underneath the pale blue sky
Cm F A#
Got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
Cm F A# Cm
I'm looking at the world going by
CHORUS:
F A# G7 Cm
Just sitting in the midday sun
F A# G7 Cm
Just soaking up that currant bun
F A# G7
With no particular purpose or reason
Cm F A# Cm
Sitting in the midday sun
F A#
Everybody see I'm lazing
Cm F A#
They all say, "Get a job, you slob"
Cm F A#
I'd rather be a hobo walking 'round with nothing
Cm F A# Cm
Than a rich man's scatterings and all new scars
CHORUS:
F A# G7 Cm
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
F A# G7 Cm
Just soaking up that currant bun
F A# G7
With no particular purpose or reason
Cm F A# D#
Sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
Dm
Ohh, look at all the lazies
Cm A# F A# D#
Looking their best in their summer dresses
Dm
Ohh, sitting in the sun
Cm Dm
I've got no home, I've got no money
D# F Cm
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
F A# Cm
Haven't got a steady occupation
F A# Cm
And I can't afford a telephone
F A# G7 Cm
Haven't got a stereo radio or video
F A# Cm
Mortgage, overdraft or bank loan
CHORUS:
F A# G7 Cm
The only way that I can get my fun
F A# G7 Cm
Is by soaking up the midday sun
F A# G7
I don't have to give my reason
Cm F A# D#
For sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
Dm
Ohh, listen to the people
Cm A# F A# D#
Say I'm a loser and I've got nothing
Dm
Ohh, if they could only see
Cm Dm
I've got my pride, I've got no money
D# F Cm
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
CHORUS:
F A# G7 Cm
I'm just sitting in the midday sun
F A# G7 Cm
Just a-soaking up that currant bun
F A# G7
With no particular purpose or reason
Cm F A# G7
Sitting in the midday sun
Cm F A# G7
Sitting in the midday sun
Cm F A#
Sitting in the midday sun
