SUMMERTIME ( FROM PORGY AND BESS )
Am (riff*) Bm Am
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
D C E ( F E )
Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high
Am (riff*) Bm Am
Yo' daddy's rich, and yo' mamma's good lookin'
G Am C D Am ( riff*)
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings, you're gonna wake up singin'
You'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
But until that mornin', there ain't nothin' gonna harm you
Your mommy and daddy, sta-andin' by.
Repeat verse 1
* Riff
For a 'swingier' version, play: Am Bm C Bm ( x 2 ),
instead of the Am and Bm on lines 1 and 3.
Also play the E...F....E at the end of line 2.
