Verse:
The [Dm]taxman's taken [C]all my dough,
and [F]left me in my [C]stately home,
[A]lazin' [A/G]on a [A/F]sunny [A/E]after[Dm]noon.
And I can't [C]sail my yacht,
he's [F]taken every[C]thing I've got.
[A]All I've [A/G]got's this [A/F]sunny [A/E]after[Dm]noon.
Chorus:
[D]Save me, save me, save me from this [G7]squeeze,
I've got a [C7]big fat mama tryin' to break [F]me.[A7]
And I [Dm]love to live so [G7]pleasantly,
[Dm]Live this life of [G7]luxur[C7]y,
[F]lazin' on a [A7]sunny after[Dm]noon, In the summertime..
