[Dm] [G] [C] [A7]
[VERSE]
I'm [Dm]sitting by the [G]side of a r[C]iver
[Dm]Underneath the [G]pale blue [C]sky [A7]

[CHORUS]
[Dm]Just [G]sitting in the [C]midday [A7]sun
[Dm]Just [G]soaking up that[C] currant b[A7]un
[Dm]With no par[G]ticular [C]purpose or re[A7]ason
[Dm]Sitting in the [G]midday s[C]un
[VERSE]
[Dm]Everybody [G]say I'm l[C]azy [A7]
They[Dm] all tell me [G]get a job you [C]slob [A7]

[CHORUS]
[Dm]So I'm just [G]sitting in the [C]midday [A7]sun

A mo[Dm]rtgage, overd[G]raft, a bank l[C]oan [A7]
[CHORUS]
[Dm]The only way[G] that I can get[C] my fun[A7]
