Dm C7
The taxman's taken all my dough
F C7
And left me in my stately home
A A/G A/F A/E Dm
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
C7
And I can't sail my yacht
F C7
He's taken everything I've got
A A/G A/F A/E Dm
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
[Chorus]
D D7 G G7
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
C7 F A7
I got a big fat mama tryin' to break me
Dm G
And I love to live so pleasantly
D7 G7 C
Live this life of luxury
F A Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
A A/G A/F A/E
In a summertime

[Verse]
Dm C7
My girlfriend's run off with my car
F C7
And gone back to her ma and pa
A A/G A/F A/E Dm
Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty
C7
Now I'm sittin' here
F C7
Sippin' at my ice-cooled beer
A A/G A/F A/E Dm
Lazin' on this sunny afternoon
[Chorus]
D D7 G G7
Help me, help me, help me sail away
C7 F A7
Or give me two good reasons why I oughta stay
Dm G
And I love to live so pleasantly
D7 G7 C
Live this life of luxury
