I grew up in the South and have heard hundred of versions of "Summer time". This is one of the best. It captures the old bluesey feeling of summer in the South.
**am E am E** 2x at "Summertime and the living is easy",
**dm dm C C E E** at "Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high", then
**am E am E** 2x again at "Your daddy's rich ....", and finally
**C am dm E (am E am E)** at "So hush little baby and don't you cry"
It repeats on every other verse.
At 2:56 (when it changes), it's the same thing but played on different positions and with some variations in the chords, the difference is quite easy to discern.
LOL Ya'll really don't know? This is from the American folk opera "Porgey and Bess" by George Gershwin in the 1930s. Read the Wikkipedia article. The performers are "Big Daddy Wilson and the Mississippi Grave Diggers." For a New York boy Gershwin had a good feel for blues.

For all the guitarists:
**am E am E** 2x at "Summertime and the living is easy",
**dm dm C C E E** at "Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high", then
**am E am E** 2x again at "Your daddy's rich ....", and finally

I was thinking the same thing. This is primo. I was looking for the cover but this one is PRIMO. It's like finding a gem among pebbles on the beach.
