You don’t  wanna hang around

Said you were leaving town for the summer 
 
             A   D          Dsus2

         G
Yes it’s alright 
 
          D             Dsus2
It’s your birthright

It’s your birthright
 
 
 
 
 
I've listened to the song over and over, and I think this is quite accurate.

Right you are, sir! I disagree slightly with the position of some of the chords, but the chords themselves are spot on. Thanks for posting this.
