The taxman`s taken all my dough

And left me in my stately home
 -6-6 -6 -6 -6 6  -5 5  -4
Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon

And I can`t sail my yacht

All I`ve got`s this Sunny Afternoon

My girlfriend`s gone off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I`m sitting here, Sipping at my ice cold beer
Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon
Help me, help me, help me sail away
You give me two good reasons why I oughr ro stay
`Cause I love ro live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury  Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon
In  summertime  In  summertime  In  summertime.
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
