Summertime


from Sam Cooke:Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 this is one of the funkiest songs i have ever heard. Sublime covered it dub-style. 12break, 12break, 12break, 12break -(moderately slow count) -]-------------------------------------| -]-------24----24----------------24----| -]----24----24----24----24----24----24-| -]-02----------------02----02----------| summertime and the living's easy -]-------------21----------- -]-------------------------| -]----24-------------------- -]-------24----24----------| -]-02----02-45-----5-54-5420 -]----24----24----24----24-| -]-------------------------- -]-02----------------02----| fish are jumping and cotton is high, your dad is rich and your ma is good lookin(mmhmhm) -]-12-1-----21------------------------------------------| -]-----4----------24------------------24----24----24----| -]-------45----------24----5420----24----24----24----24-| -]----------------------02------02----------------------| so hush little baby, don't you cry (mmhmhmm) (mmhmhhmmm) -]-12-1-----21----------------| -]-----4--------4-24----------| -]-------45----------24----24-| -]----------------------02----| (mm hm mm hm hhmm hm) -]-------------------------------------21------------| -]-------24----24-------------24---------------------| -]----24----24----24----24-02----02-45----45-54-5420-| -]-02----------------02------------------------------| one of these mornings your gonna rise up singin,then youll spread your wings & take to the sky -]-------------------------12-1-----21-------------------------------| -]-------24----24--------------4----------24----------24-------------| -]----24----24----24----24-------45----------24----24----24----24----| -]-02----------------02-------------------------02----------02----02-| but until that morning there is nothing can harm you No-No No-No, with daddy and mommy standing by (mm-hm-mm) -that's it from my favorite, the soulful Sam Cooke
