      Em   Am Em        Am        Em   Am Em
Summertime,     and the livin' is easy
         Am                        B7  C7 B7
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
             Em   Am Em          Am           Em     Am Em
Your daddy's rich,      and your momma's good lookin'
   G           A7    B7        Em   Am Em
So hush little baby, don't you cry
 
Em                    Am Em              Am      Em     Am Em
One of these mornings,      you're gonna rise up singing
            Am                                        B7  C7 B7
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
              Em      Am Em          Am          Em      Am Em
But till that morning,     there's a nothin' can harm you
     G         A7     B7       Em   Am Em
With daddy and mammy, standing by
