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