Kinks - Sunny Afternoon Guitar tabulature






intro:	Dm  Dm/C  Dm/B  Dm/Bb   A   A/G   A/F  A/E

	     Dm             C
	The taxman's taken all my dough
	     F              C
	And left me in my stately home
	A     A/G   A/F   A/E   Dm
	Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
	And I can't sail my yacht
	He's taken everything I've got
	All I've got's this sunny afternoon

	D7                                     G7
	Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
	            C7                       F     A7
	I got a big fat mama tryin' to break me
	      Dm                G7
	And I love to live so pleasantly
	 D7               G7  C7
	Live this life of luxury
	F            A7        Dm  Dm/C  Dm/B  Dm/Bb
	Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
		A    A/G   A/F  A/E
	In the summertime

	My girlfriend's run off with my car
	And gone back to her ma and pa
	Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty
	Now I'm sittin' here
	Sippin' at my ice-cooled beer
	All I've got's this sunny afternoon

	Help me, help me, help me sail away
	Or give me two good reasons why I oughta stay
	'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
	Live this life of luxury
	Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
	In the summertime
