 D9  Am7  D7   G9    D9    G9    Em7      A
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,

A7    Cdim A7  D7       Am7     Cdim G    
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer;

 D9  Am7  D7   G9    D9    G9    Em7      A
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer --

A7   Cdim A7 D7      Am7       D9    Cdim      G
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer.


Bridge 1:

     G/F#      C7      B7      C7    B7      C7     B7
Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and wee - nies,

              C7    B7  C7  B7     Em
Then lock the house up, now you're set;

            Em7/9       A7      Em7/9     A7       Em7/9 A7
And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bi - ki - nis,

   Em7     D7   A7        D7   A7      D7
As cute as ever but they never get 'em wet.


 D9  Am7  D7   G9    D9    G9    Em7      A
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,

A7    Cdim A7  D7       Am7    Cdim  G
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer;

 D9  Am7  D7   G9    D9    G9    Em7      A
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer --

A7     Cdim  A7   D7     Am7  D9    Cdim  G
You'll wish that summer could always be here.


 D9  Am7  D7    G9    D9    G9    Em7      A
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,

A7    Cdim A7  D7       Am7    Cdim  G
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer;

 D9  Am7  D7   G9    D9    G9    Em7      A
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer --

A7   Cdim A7 D7      Am7       D9    Cdim      G
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer.


Bridge 2:

     G/F#    C7     B7      C7      B7      C7  B7
Don't hafta tell a girl and fella about a drive-in

           C7  B7   C7  B7  Em
Or some ro-man-tic movie scene;

               Em7/9   A7         Em7/9  A7       Em7/9 A7
Right from the moment that those lovers start ar - ri - vin'

        Em7     D7      A7     D7         A7      D7
You'll see more kissin' in the cars than on the screen.


 D9  Am7  D7    G9    D9    G9    Em7      A
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,

A7    Cdim A7  D7       Am7    Cdim  G
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer;

 D9  Am7  D7   G9    D9    G9    Em7      A
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer --

A7     Cdim  A7   D7     Am7  D9    Cdim  G  B7  E7
You'll wish that summer could always be here,

A7     Cdim  A7   D7     Am7  D9    Cdim  G  B7  E7
You'll wish that summer could always be here,

A7     Cdim  A7   D7     Am7  D9    Cdim  G
You'll wish that summer could always be here.
