[Intro] Am Am E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7 [Verse 1]

The t^Amax man's taken all^G my dough And l^Ceft me in my ^Gstately home. ^E7Lazing on a sunny afternoon^Am. And I can't sa^Gil my yacht, He's ^Ctaken every^Gthing I've got, ^E7All I've got this sunny after^Amnoon.

[Chorus 1]

^A7Save me, save me, save me from this ^D7squeeze, I got a b^Gig fat mama trying to break m^Ce. ^E7 And I ^Amlove to live so ^D7pleasantly, ^AmLive this life of ^D7luxury^G, ^CLazing on a s^E7unny after^Amnoon, In the ^E7summertime, In the ^Amsummertime, in the ^E7summertime.

[Verse 2]

My g^Amirlfriend's run off ^Gwith my car And ^Cgone back to her ^Gma and pa ^E7Telling tales of drunkenness and ^Amcruelty. Now I'm s^Gitting here, ^CSipping on my ^Gice cold beer, ^E7Lazing on a sunny after^Amnoon.

[Chorus 2]

^A7Help me, help me, help me sail ^D7away, Well, give me ^Gtwo good reasons why I oughta ^Cstay.^E7 'Cause^Am I love to live so ^D7pleasantly ^AmLive this life of ^D7luxury,^G ^CLazing on a ^E7sunny after^Amnoon, In the ^E7summertime, In the ^Amsummertime, in the s^E7ummertime.

[Chorus 1]

^A7Save me, save me, save me from this ^D7squeeze, I got a b^Gig fat mama trying to break ^Cme. ^E7 And I l^Amove to live so ^D7pleasantly, ^AmLive this life of luxu^D7ry, ^G ^CLazing on a ^E7sunny after^Amnoon, In the ^E7summertime, In the ^Amsummertime, in the ^E7summertime.

[Outro]

In the ^Amsummertime, in the ^E7summertime,

Then just quietly strum Am until fade (or sudden ending depending on which album you got it on). This was tabbed by Huw Wilson-Thomas, England.
