Intro: Am D G E7 Am D G E7 Am
D G Am
I'm sitting by the side of a river
D G
Underneath the pale blue sky
Am D G
Got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
Am D G Am
I'm looking at the world going by
CHORUS:
D G E7 Am
Just sitting in the midday sun
D G E7 Am
Just soaking up that currant bun
D G E7
With no particular purpose or reason
Am D G Am
Sitting in the midday sun
D G
Everybody see I'm lazing
Am D G
They all say, "Get a job, you slob"
Am D G
I'd rather be a hobo walking 'round with nothing
Am D G Am
Than a rich man's scatterings and all new scars
CHORUS:
D G E7 Am
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
D G E7 Am
Just soaking up that currant bun
D G E7
With no particular purpose or reason
Am D G C
Sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
Bm
Ohh, look at all the lazies
Am G D G C
Looking their best in their summer dresses
Bm
Ohh, sitting in the sun
Am Bm
I've got no home, I've got no money
C D Am
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
D G Am
Haven't got a steady occupation
D G Am
And I can't afford a telephone
D G E7 Am
Haven't got a stereo radio or video
D G Am
Mortgage, overdraft or bank loan
CHORUS:
D G E7 Am
The only way that I can get my fun
D G E7 Am
Is by soaking up the midday sun
D G E7
I don't have to give my reason
Am D G C
For sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
Bm
Ohh, listen to the people
Am G D G C
Say I'm a loser and I've got nothing
Bm
Ohh, if they could only see
Am Bm
I've got my pride, I've got no money
C D Am
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
CHORUS:
D G E7 Am
I'm just sitting in the midday sun
D G E7 Am
Just a-soaking up that currant bun
D G E7
With no particular purpose or reason
Am D G E7
Sitting in the midday sun
Am D G E7
Sitting in the midday sun
Am D G
Sitting in the midday sun
