Sitting In The Midday Sun

Dm G C A7
Dm G C A7

[Verse]
    Dm             G          C
I'm sitting by the side of a river
Dm             G         C     A7
Underneath the pale blue sky
     Dm             G     C          A7
I've got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
    Dm             G        C
I'm looking at the world go by

[Chorus]
Dm   G              C      A7
Just sitting in the midday sun
Dm   G              C         A7
Just soaking up that currant bun
Dm         G       C            A7
With no particular purpose or reason
Dm             G       C
Sitting in the midday sun

[Verse]
Dm        G        C     A7
Everybody say I'm lazy
    Dm           G             C      A7
They all tell me get a job you slob
    Dm          G    C                A7
I'd rather be a hobo walking round with nothing
       Dm        G        C
Than a rich man scared of losing all he's got

[Chorus]
Dm          G              C      A7
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Dm   G              C         A7
Just soaking up that currant bun
Dm           G       C            A7
Why should I have to give my reasons
    Dm             G       C      C7
For sitting in the midday sun

[Bridge]
F  Em
Oh look at all the ladies
G             C        G           C
Looking their best in their summer dresses
F  Em
Oh sitting in the sun
Dm
I've got no home
Em
I've got no money
    F                         G
But who needs a job when it's sunny. Wah Wah

[Verse]
    Dm           G             C      A7
I haven't got a steady occupation
    Dm           G             C      A7
And I can't afford a telephone
    Dm           G             C      A7
I haven't got a stereo, radio or video
    Dm           G             C      A7
A mortgage, overdraft, a bank loan

[Chorus]
Dm          G              C      A7
The only way that I can get my fun
Dm          G              C      A7
Is by sitting in the midday sun
Dm          G              C      A7
With no particular purpose or reason
Dm          G              C      A7
Sitting in the midday sun

[Bridge]
F  Em
Oh listen to the people
G             C        G           C
Say I'm a failure and I've got nothing
F  Em
Ah but if they would only see
Dm
I've got my pride
Em
I've got no money
    F                         G
But who needs a job when it's sunny. Wah Wah

[Verse]
Dm           G             C      A7
Everybody thinks I'm crazy
Dm           G             C      A7
And everybody says I'm dumb
Dm           G             C      A7
But when I see the people shouting at each other
Dm               G           C    A7
I'd rather be an out of work bum.

[Chorus]
Dm          G              C      A7
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Dm   G              C         A7
Just soaking up that currant bun
Dm         G       C            A7
With no particular purpose or reason
Dm             G       C
Sitting in the midday sun
