Lyrics for: Summertime Blues
By Eddie Cochran

CCC F GGG C  or

AAA D EEE A

 
Well I'm a- gonna raise a fuss, I'm a- gonna raise a holler    CCC F GGG C
 I've been a- workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar  CCC F GGG C

F
 Tried to get the car go out on a date
 C

The boss says "No dice son, you gotta work late"
F

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a- gonna do
C                                          G               C              CCC F GGG C  CCC F GGG C

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

 Well, my mom and poppa told me "Son, you gotta earn some money
 If you wanna use the car to go riding next Sunday"
 Well I wouldn't go to work, I told the boss I was sick
 He said "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

 Gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
 Gonna take my problem to the United Nations
 Well I called 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 to cure for the summertime blues
