Standard (EADGBE)

Summertime, and the livin' is easy;

Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high.

  [A7-5]

Yo' daddy's rich and yo' mama's good-lookin',

  +7

So hush, little baby, don't you cry.

One of these mornin's, you're gonna rise up singin';

 You're gonna spread your wings

 And take to the sky.

  [A7-5]

But 'til that mornin', ain't nothin' can harm you

With daddy and mammy stan - din' by.
