Soak Up The Sun Acoustic

Soak Up the Sun by Sheryl Crow

Just an FYI: The picking is easier if your fingers are in the chord position. It

easier transition between chords. You can also play the intro for the verses to change things

a bit.

Intro:

E bar fret 7 B bar A bar

B----------9-----7--7---5-—5--------|

G--------9---9---8-—8---6--6--------|

Verse 1:

My Friend the Communist

Holds meetings in his RV

I can’t afford his gas

So I’m stuck here watching TV

I don’t have digital

I don’t have diddly squat

Its not having what you want

Its wanting what you’ve got

Chorus:

I’m gonna soak up the sun

I’m gonna tell everyone

To lighten up (I’m gonna tell ‘em that)

I’ve got no one to blame

For every time I feel lame

I’m looking up

I’m gonna soak up the sun (Repeat intro on “sun” on this line, do 2x)

I’m gonna soak up the sun

Verse 2:

I’ve got a crummy job

It don’t pay near enough

To buy the things it takes

To win me some of your love

Change:

Every time I turn around

I’m looking up, you’re looking down

Maybe something’s wrong with you

That makes you act the way you do

Chorus repeat

Verse 3:

Don’t have no master suite

I’m still the king of me

You have a fancy ride, but baby

I’m the one who has the key

Change:

Every time I turn around

I’m looking up, you’re looking down

Maybe something’s wrong with you

That makes you act the way you do

Maybe I am crazy too

Chorus repeat

Im gonna soak up the sun

Got my 45 on

So I can rock on
