            Summertime is an aria composed by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. 
The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward, the author of the novel Porgy on which the opera 
was based, although the song is also co-credited to Ira Gershwin by ASCAP. The song 
became a popular and much recorded jazz standard, described as "without doubt... one 
of the finest songs the composer ever wrote. The song is recognized as one of the most 
covered songs in the history of recorded music, with more than 33,000 covers by groups 
and solo performers.

Em6    B  C#dim  B  
Summertime
                  Em6   B   C#dim   B    
And the living is easy
           Am
Fish are jumping
C7                B7  C7  B7
And the cotton is high


              Em6     B   C#dim   B  
Oh, your daddy's rich
                      Em6    B  C#dim  B    
And your mamma's good looking
    G          C6
So hush little baby
C7        Em6   B  C#dim  B 
Don't you cry?


             Em6      B  C#dim  B  
One of these mornings
                        Em6     B  C#dim  B    
You're going to rise up singing
                        Am
Then you'll spread your wings
C7                     B7    C7  B7
And you'll take to the sky


               Em6     B  C#dim  B  
But until that morning
                       Em6     B  C#dim  B    
There's a’ nothing can harm you
          G         C6
With your daddy and mammy
C7       Em6  B  C#dim  B 
Standing by
