Sunny Afternoon

Chords

Standard

I transposed this from a guitar tab and it sounds great on uke! There are a lot of variations on the chords but I grabbed the ones that I thought were easiest to play on the uke.

So here's the tab.

Intro:

A|-5-5-3-3-2-2-1-1-|-0-0-------------|
E|-----------------|-----3-3-1-1-0-0-|
C|-----------------|-----------------|
G|-----------------|-----------------|

Here are the chords (I found these on Ultimate-Guitar.com, so all credit goes to the original author, original post at: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/k/kinks/sunny_afternoon_ver2_crd.htm)



Intro  Am  Am  E7  E7 Am Am E7 E7 

^This can be played over the intro tab with a second uke if you want

   Verse 1
     Am                G  
The tax man's taken all  my dough
     C            G
And left me in my statley home.
E7                         Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon. 
              G    
And i can't sail my yacht,
     C          G       
He's taken everything i've got,
E7                      Am
All i've got this sunny afternoon. 

Chorus 1

A7                                      D7
Save me, Save me, Save me from this squeeze,
         G                            C   E7
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.    
       Am             D7
And i love to live so pleasantly,
Am                    D7  G
Live this life of luxury,  
C            E7             Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon, 
       E7
In the summertime,
       Am                  E7
In the summertime, In the summertime.

Verse 2

    Am                    G
My girlfriends run off with my car
    C                G
And gone back to her ma and pa
E7                                    Am
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
         G
Now i'm sitting here,
C              G    
Sipping on my ice cold beer,
E7                        Am  
Lazing on a sunny after noon.

Chorus 2


Help me, Help me, Help me sail away,

Well, give me two good reasons why i oughta stay.

'Cause i love to live so pleasantly
Am                    D7  G
Live this life of luxury,  
C            E7             Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon, 
       E7
In the summertime,
       Am                  E7
In the summertime, In the summertime.


(then its just Chorus 1 again)


Outro

       Am                 E7
In the summertime, In the summertime,


Then just quietly strum Am until fade (or sudden ending depending on which album you got it on)
