Intro
E A B7 E E A B7 E
verse 1
E5 E A B7 E
I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
E5 E A B7 E
About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
A5
Every time I call my baby, and try to get a date
E
My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late"
A5
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
E
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
verse2
E5 E A B7 E
Well my mom and pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money,
E5 E A B7 E
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday"
A5
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
E
"Well you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
A5
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
E
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
