Sunny Afteroon

Coversong written by Ray Davies
Originally made famous by the Kinks

Capo fifth fret 
     Am                G
The tax man's taken all  my dough
     C            G
And left me in my statley home.
E7                         Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon. 
              G
And I can't sail my yacht,
     C          G
He's taken everything I've got,
E7                           Am
All I've got this sunny afternoon. 
A7                                  D7
Save me, Save me, Save me from this squeeze,
         G                            C   E7
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.    
      Am              D7
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Am                D7    G
Live this life of luxury,  
C            E7        Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon, 
       E7
In the summertime,
       Am                 E7
In the summertime, In the summertime.

    Am                 G
My girlfriends run off with my car
    C                G
And gone back to her ma and pa
E7                               Am
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
         G
Now I'm sitting here,
C             G
Sipping on my ice cold beer,
E7                     Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
A7                             D7
Help me, Help me, Help me sail away,
              G                             C    E7
Well, give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.
      Am                 D7
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Am                D7     G
Live this life of luxury,  
C           E7         Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon, 
       E7
In the summertime,
       Am                  E7
In the summertime, In the summertime.
[Chorus 1] Save me, Save me, Save me from this squeeze
