The Kinks - Sitting in the Midday Sun: chords

     Dm             G         C
I'm sitting by the side of a river
Dm              G          C A7
Underneath the pale blue sky
     Dm              G    C          A7
I've got no need to worry, I'm in no hurry
     Dm             G        C
I'm looking at the world go by

Chorus:
Dm    G              C      A7
Just sitting in the midday sun
Dm    G               C       A7
Just soaking up that currant bun
Dm          G       C          A7
With no particular purpose or reason
Dm              G      C
Sitting in the midday sun

Everybody say I'm lazy
They all tell me, "Get a job you slob"
I'd rather be a hobo walking 'round with nothing
Than a rich man scared of losing all he's got

Chorus:
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Just soaking up that currant bun
Why should I have to give my reasons?
For sitting in the midday sun

F  Em
Oh look at all the ladies
 G             C        G            C
Looking their best in their summer dresses
F   Em
Oh sitting in the sun
     Dm
I've got no home
      Em
I've got no money
      F                        G
But who needs a job when it's sunny. Wah Wah

I haven't got a steady occupation
And I can't afford a telephone
And I haven't got a stereo, radio or video
A mortgage, overdraft, or bank loan

Chorus:
The only way that I can get my fun
Is by sitting in the midday sun
With no particular purpose or reason
Sitting in the midday sun

Oh, listen to the people who
Say I'm a failure and I've got nothing
Ah, but if they would only see
I've got my pride, I've got no money
But who needs a job when it's sunny? Woah, woah

Everybody thinks I'm crazy
And everybody says I'm dumb
But when I see the people shouting at each other
I'd rather be an out of work bum

Chorus:
So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Just soaking up that currant bun
With no particular purpose or reason
I'm sitting in the midday sun
