"Summertime" - Music by George Gershwin, lyrics by DuBose Heyward. 
From the 1935 opera, "Porgy and Bess."



Am
   Summertime, 
E7                   Am
   And the livin' is easy
Dm
   Fish are jumpin'
F                    E7
   And the cotton is high


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


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


Am
   But until that morning
E7                        Am
   There's a'nothing can harm you
F                           E7       Am
   With your daddy and mammy standing by



Am
   Summertime, 
E7                   Am
   And the livin' is easy
Dm
   Fish are jumpin'
F                    E7
   And the cotton is high


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
