[Intro]
G* Am7 D7 G
G6* Am7 D7 G*
[Verse 1]
E7* Am7 D7 G G6
I'm sitting by the side of a river
Am7 D7 G G6
Underneath the pale blue sky
Am7 D G G6
I've got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
Am7 D G*
I'm looking at the world go by
[Chorus]
Am D7 G E7
Just sitting in the midday sun
Am7 D7 G E7
Just soaking up that currant bun
Am7 D7 G E
With no particular purpose or reason
Am D G*
Sitting in the midday sun
[Verse 2]
Am D G G6
Everybody say I'm lazy
Am7 Am G Em7
They all tell me get a job you slob
Am7 D G Em7
I'd rather be a hobo walking round with nothing
Am7 D7/A G*
Than a rich man scared of losing all he's got
[Chorus 2]
Am7 D7 G G6
Oh I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Am7 D7 G E7
Just soaking up that currant bun
Am D7 G E7
Why should I have to give a reason
Am D G G
Sitting in the midday sun
[Bridge]
C Bm Bm7
(Ooooh) Oh look at all the ladies (Ooooh)

Looking their best in their summer dresses

(Ooooh)Oh sitting in the sun
Am Am7
I've got no home
Bm Bm7
I've got no money

But who needs a job when it's sunny out-side Wah Wah
[Verse 3]
Am D G G6
I haven't got a steady occupation
Am7 D7 G G6
And I can't afford a telephone
Am7 D7 G G6
I haven't got a stereo, radio or video
Am7 D7 G Em7
A mortgage, overdraft, a bank loan
[Chorus 3]
Am7 D7 G E7
The only way that I can get my fun
Am7 D7 G E7
Is by sitting in the midday sun
Am7 D7 G G6 E7
With no particular purpose or reason
Am7 D7 G G6
Sitting in the midday sun
[Bridge]
C Bm Bm7
(Ooooh) Oh listen to the people
Am7 G D G7
Say I'm a failure and I've got nothing
C Bm Bm7
(Ooooh) Ah but if they would only see
Am Am7
I've got my pride
Bm Bm7
I've got no money
C Am7 D Dsus2* D Dsus2* Dsus4* D* Dsus4* D*
But who needs a job when it's sun-ny, Wah Wah
[Verse 4]
Am7 D G G6
Everybody thinks I'm crazy
Am7 D7 G G6
And everybody says I'm dumb
Am7 D G G6
But when I see the people shouting at each other
Am7 D G G6
I'd rather be an out of work bum.
[Outro]
Am7 D7 G E7
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Am7 D7 G E7
Just soaking up that currant bun
Am7 D7 G E7
With no particular purpose or reason
Am D G* E7*
Sitting in the midday sun
Am D7/A G E7
Nah, na na na nah na na na nah
Am7 Am G E7
Am7 D7/A G E7
(Fades out quickly)
