Summertime

by Mark Sickmiller

Key: Db

To play in Db, the chords below should be played with a capo on 1.

 C.    F.    C.   F

706 time to rise and shine

Don't know how I fell so far out of line

The suns been up for an hour or so

Gotta be awake for summer before it goes

C.  F.  C.  F. 

Busy day ahead fueled by lucky charms

I'll hit the pool and you can watch the farm

Please keep the chickens out of the pool

They'd just flap around like a bunch of fools

Am  g.  F.  C. 

Because there ain't no time like summertime

Baseball games and clothes on the line

Some folks just stay inside and whine

But I say ... gimme the heat cuz this is my time

Playing putt putt and ignoring the rules

I came across a new way to stay cool

Just chase your ball into the creek

Oops I tripped think I'll lay here all week

Thin green hands always waving hello

Living it up because they heard about snow

Thinkin about it won't change a thing

You're gonna get from life whatever you bring

..chorus..

...solo...
