[Verse 1]
Am
Summertime,
E7 Am
And the livin' is easy
Dm
Fish are jumpin'
F E7
And the cotton is high
[Chorus]
Am
Oh, Your daddy's rich
E7 Am
And your mamma's good lookin'
F
So hush little baby
E7 Am
Don't you cry
[Verse 2]
Am
One of these mornings
E7 Am
You're going to rise up singing
Dm
Then you'll spread your wings
F E7
And you'll take to the sky
[Bridge]
Am
But until that morning
E7 Am
There's a'nothing can harm you
F E7 Am
With your daddy and mammy standing by
[Verse]
Am
Summertime,
E7 Am
And the livin' is easy
Dm
Fish are jumpin'
F E7
And the cotton is high
[Chorus]
Am
Oh, Your daddy's rich
E7 Am
And your mamma's good lookin'
F
So hush little baby
E7 Am
Don't you cry
