[Verse 1]
E
Well I'm gonna raise a fuss
                             A B E
And I'm gonna raise a holler
E
About workin' all summer
                             A B E
Just tryin' to earn a dollar
        A
Well, I tried to call my baby
A
Tried to get a date
   E
My boss said, "No, dice, get
E
You gotta work late"


[Chorus]
A
Sometimes I wonder
A
What I'm gonna do?
          E
But there ain't no cure
E
For the summertime blues

[Verse 2]
E
Well, my mom and Papa told me
                                A B E
Son, you gotta make some money
E
If one of you is gotta go
                    A B E
Ridin' next Sunday
        A
Well, I didn't go to work
A
I told my boss I was sick
    E
You can't use the car
E
'Cause you didn't work a lick


[Chorus]
A
Sometimes I wonder
A
What I'm gonna do?
          E
But there ain't no cure
E
For the summertime blues

[Verse 3]
E
I'm gonna take two weeks
                               A B E
I'm gonna have a fine vacation
E
I'm gonna take my problem
                      A B E
To the United Nations
        A
Well, I called my Congressman
A
And he said, "Quiet"
          E
It said, "I'd like to help you, son
E
But you're too young to vote"


[Chorus]
A
Sometimes I wonder
A
What I'm gonna do?
          E
But there ain't no cure
E
For the summertime blues
