i understand many bands have played this song, but this is the way the Tornadoes play it and its my favorite recording of this song, if you havent heard it you oughta find a copy of it and have a listen recorded 1964 "SUMMERTIME" as played by The Tornadoes (written 1935 by George Gershwin) Dm (xx0231@1) Bb (x1333x@1) G (320003@1) A|--------1------|------------------|----------------|---------------| (x02220@1)|------3----3---|---------3--------|----------------|--------2------| |----2--------2-|------3-----3-----|--------0-------|------2---2----| |--0------------|----3----------3--|-----0-----0----|----2-------2--| |---------------|-1----------------|---2----------2-|-0-------------| |---------------|------------------|-3--------------|---------------| Dm (xx0231@1) BbG A (x02220@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Bb (x1333x@1) G (320003@1) ASummertime, (x02220@1) and the living is easy Dm (xx0231@1) Afish (x02220@1)are jumping, and the cotton is high A (x02220@1) E (022100@1) A|--------------------------------| (x02220@1)|--2-2-2-2-2-2----------------2--| |--2-2-2-2-2-2---1-1-1-1-1-1--2--| |--2-2-2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2-2-2--2--| |--0-0-0-0-0-0---2-2-2-2-2-2--0--| |----------------0-0-0-0-0-0-----| Dm (xx0231@1) Bb (x1333x@1) G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Bb (x1333x@1) G (320003@1) AWell (x02220@1)your daddy's rich and your momma's good looking Dm (xx0231@1) Bb (x1333x@1) G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) Dm (xx0231@1) Bb (x1333x@1) G (320003@1) Aso (x02220@1)hush little baby dont you cry music under sax solo does same Dm-Bb-G-A and ends with the A-E-A riff. rest of lyrics go: One of these mornings You're gonna to wake up crying Then you'll spread your wings And you'll take to the sky But until that morning There's a'nothing can harm you With your daddy and mammy standing by ends with Dm and thats all! i hope this helps! i love this version and hopefully someone elso does and this is what they've been looking for their whole life. the Tornadoes lyrics are just a tad different. -Bert
