[Verse 1]
I'm a -gonna raise [D]a

I'm a -gonna raise a [G]holler
[D]I've been working all summer
just to try to pull a [G]dollar[A]
[G]Well, what time I call my baby
and try to get a date
My boss [F]says, no dice, son,

[G]Sometimes I wonder what
I'm a -gonna do
Because there [D]ain't no cure
[G]for the summertime blues

to go a -ridin' next [G]Sunday[A]

Now you can't use a [G]car,
cause you didn't work a lick

Sometimes I [G]wonder,
what am I gonna do?
Cause there ain't no cure
for the summer[D]time [A]blues[D][G][A][D]

gonna have a fine [G]vacation
[A]I'm[D] gonna take my problem
to the United [G]Nation
[A]Wel[D]l, I cal[G]led my congressman,
