D
Sitting outside on a chair in the summer
Not a lot on my mind
I can do lots or not if I wanna
Even if then I find

Chorus:
C G         D
I've gotta get up
C         G       D
gonna be back i know
C G         D
I've gotta get up
 F         G       D
better get up and go
 F         G       D
better get up and go
   F        G       D C D
I gotta get up and go

Taking my time 'cos I ain't in a hurry
Not a lot else to do
I can lay back and I don't have to worry
Leaving that up to you

Chorus:
I've gotta get up
Gonna be back I know
I've gotta get up
Better get up and go
Better get up and go

G
Wait just a minute
  A
there's something in it
  Bm        D   G
that I need I know

Walking the dog gets me up in the morning
Johnny don't like me late
Radio news and the sun stops me yawning
Everything else can wait

Chorus:
I've gotta get up
Gonna be back I know
I've gotta get up
Better get up and go
I've gotta get up
Gotta go do a show
I've gotta get up
Gotta get up and go
Better get up and go
Gonna get up and go

Wait just a minute
There's something in it
I know how to win it
There's something in it
That I need I know

Chorus:
Gotta get up and go
Gotta get up and go
Gotta get up and go
I gotta get up and go
I've gotta get up
Gonna be back I know
I've gotta get up
Better get up and go
I've gotta get up
Gotta go do a show
I've gotta get up
Gotta get up and go
Better get up
