[Verse 1]

Am
   Summertime,
E7                   Am
   And the livin' is easy
Dm
   Fish are jumpin'
F                    E7
   And the cotton is high


[Chorus]

Am
   Oh, Your daddy's rich
E7                        Am
   And your mamma's good lookin'
C
   So hush little baby
E7            Am
   Don't you cry


[Verse 2]

Am
   One of these mornings
E7                          Am
   You're going to rise up singing
Dm
   Then you'll spread your wings
F                          E7
   And you'll take to the sky


[Bridge]

Am
   But until that morning
E7                    Am
   There's a'nothing can harm you
C                 F       E7       Am
   With daddy and mammy standing by


[Verse]

Am
   Summertime,
E7                   Am
   And the livin' is easy
Dm
   Fish are jumpin'
F                    E7
   And the cotton is high


[Chorus]

Am
   Oh, Your daddy's rich
E7                        Am
   And your mamma's good lookin'
C
   So hush little baby
E7            Am
   Don't you cry
