                  Am6   Bm7   Cmaj7/6   
Summertime... 
               Bm7   Am6  Bm7   Cmaj7/6  Bm7   
And the livin' is easy 
             Dm7         
Fish are jumpin,  
             Ebdim      E7+/9  E9   E7/9-    Eaug         
And the cotton is high 
                    Am7     Bm7   Cmaj7/6   		 
Your daddy's rich 
                    Bm7                 Am6     Bm7   Cmaj7/6    D7 
And your momma's good-lookin' 
     Cmaj7                  Bm7/b5   Bb7           Am6     Bm7   Cmaj7/6  Bm7 
So hush, little baby,       don't  you cry 
 
(solo over verse) 
 
                 Am6  Bm7   Cmaj7/6         
One of these mornings,  
                     Bm7    Am6  Bm7   Cmaj7/6  Bm7  
you're gonna rise up singin' 
                      Dm7    
Spread your l wings, 
          Ebdim      E7+/9   E9   E7/9-    Eaug 
And take to the sky 
                 Am6     Bm7   Cmaj7/6 
until that mornin' 
         Bm7         Am6     Bm7   Cmaj7/6    D7 
Ain't nothin' can harm you,  
        Cmaj7                    Bm7/b5 Bb7           Am6     Bm7   Cmaj7/6    1.  Bm7      2.   D7 
With Mammy and Daddy              standing by 
 
    Cmaj7                  Bm7   E7                             (rest)  Am6     Bm7   Cmaj7/6  Bm7  Am7 
So hush, little baby,           baby  don't  you cry..
