intro - 4 bars
|G   D  |F   C  |G    |/
 
verse 1
|G             D       |F             C           |G    |
Wouldn't it be nice to get on with me neighbours?
         |G           D             |F              C       |G    |
But they make it very clear they've got no room for ravers.
|C                                  |
   They stop me from groovin', they bang on me wall,
|D                                 |
   They're doing me crust in, it's no good at all. Aaah!
 
chorus
|G     |C          |G                |Bb 
  Lazy Sunday afternoon-ah, I got no mind to worry.
|Eb          |F              |G     D     |F     C     |G    |
  I close my eyes and drift away.
 
verse 2
|G          D   |F           C        |G    |
Here we all are sittin' in a rainbow. (Colonel Bogey)
    |G      D                |F                   C     |G     |
Gor blimey! Hello Mrs Jones, how's old Bert's lumbago? (mustn't grumble)
|C                              |
   I'll sing you a song with no words and no tune (tiddley-day)
|D                                 |
   To sing in your party while you suss out the moon. (tiddley-day)
 
chorus
|G     |C          |G             |Bb 
  Lazy Sunday afternoon, I got no mind to worry.
|Eb        |F              |Bm   |    |F    |    |C    |    |Eb6  |
  Close my eyes and drift away...
 
verse 3
|G             D    |F              C        |G     |
Root-de-doo-de-doo, root-de-doot-de die day,
|G              D    |F             C        |G     |
Root-de doot de dum, root-de-doo-de-doo dee. (Satisfaction riff)
|C                                    |
   There's no one to hear me, there's nothing to say,
|D                             |
   And no one can stop me from feelin' this way.
 
chorus and outro
|G     |C          |G             |Bb
  Lazy Sunday afternoon, I got no mind to worry.
|Eb        |F              |Bm   |   |F   |   |C   |   |Eb6  |
  Close my eyes and drift away...
|G     |C          |G             |Bb 
  Lazy Sunday afternoon, I got no mind to worry.
|Eb        |F                   |Bm        |Em             |C
  Close my eyes and drift a-      Close my eyes and drift away.
         |D              |G   (fade)
Close my eyes and drift away.
