Bbm        Eb
Summertime
               Bbm    Eb
And the livin' is easy
         Db Eb
Fish are jumpin'
Db      Eb        F
And the cotton is high


Bbm          Eb
Your daddy's rich
         Bbm        Eb
And your ma is good lookin'
   Db          Eb
So hush little baby
Db     Eb               Bbm Eb Bbm Eb
  Baby please don't you cry


       Bbm            Eb
One of these mornings
                     Bbm        Eb
You're going to rise up singing
           Db          Eb
Yes you'll spread your wings
Db         Eb          F
And you'll take to the sky


    Bbm        Eb
But till that morning
Bbm                 Eb
There's nothing can harm you
     Db        Eb
With daddy and mommy 
Db Eb    Bbm Eb Bbm Eb
Standing by
