Intro: Gm C F D7 Gm C F D7 Gm
C F Gm
I'm sitting by the side of a river
C F
Underneath the pale blue sky
Gm C F
Got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
Gm C F Gm
I'm looking at the world going by
CHORUS:
C F D7 Gm
Just sitting in the midday sun
C F D7 Gm
Just soaking up that currant bun
C F D7
With no particular purpose or reason
Gm C F Gm
Sitting in the midday sun
C F
Everybody see I'm lazing
Gm C F
They all say, "Get a job, you slob"
Gm C F
I'd rather be a hobo walking 'round with nothing
Gm C F Gm
Than a rich man's scatterings and all new scars
CHORUS:
C F D7 Gm
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
C F D7 Gm
Just soaking up that currant bun
C F D7
With no particular purpose or reason
Gm C F A#
Sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:
Am
Ohh, look at all the lazies
Gm F C F A#
Looking their best in their summer dresses

Ohh, sitting in the sun
Gm Am
I've got no home, I've got no money
A# C Gm
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
C F Gm
Haven't got a steady occupation
C F Gm
And I can't afford a telephone
C F D7 Gm
Haven't got a stereo radio or video
C F Gm
Mortgage, overdraft or bank loan
CHORUS:
C F D7 Gm
The only way that I can get my fun
C F D7 Gm
Is by soaking up the midday sun

I don't have to give my reason
Gm C F A#
For sitting in the midday sun
BRIDGE:

Ohh, listen to the people
Gm F C F A#
Say I'm a loser and I've got nothing

I've got my pride, I've got no money
A# C Gm
But who needs a job when it's sunny, oh oh, oh ohh
