      e♭^eee...                                       EEE A  BBB E
I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
        e♭^eee...                                          EEE A  BBB E
About a-workin' all summer just a-tryin' to earn a dollar

        A(6)
  Every time I call my baby, try to get a date
     E!
  My boss says "No dice son you gotta work late"
  A(6)
  Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
            E!
  But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

e♭^eee e♭^eee e♭^eee e♭^eee

Well my Mom and Pappa told me "Son you gotta make some money
If you wanna use the car to go a-ridin' next Sunday"

  Well I didn't got to work, told the boss I was sick
  "Now you can't use the car cause you didn't work a lick"
  Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
  But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

e♭^eee e♭^eee e♭^eee e♭^eee

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations

  Well I told my congressman and he said, quote:
  "I'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote"
  Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
  But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
