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