Strum
D-DU-UDU
I'm  a gonna raise a fuss I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About
  -workin'  all summer just
  -trying  to earn
   dollar
 Every time  I call my baby, try to get a date
 The boss says "No  dice son you gotta work a-late"
 Sometimes  I wonder what I'm a gonna do
 But there ain't  no cure for the Summertime Blues
repeat Intro riff
 Well my Mom and Pappa told me "Son you gotta earn some money
 If you wanna use the car to go a riding 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
repeat Intro riff
 It's gonna take two weeks for I have my vacation,
 I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations.
 Well I told my congress man 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.
