In The Summertime: Chords

Intro:
MI            LA      MI      SI7   LA   MI

       MI
In the summertime, when the weather is high
               
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
         LA
When the weather's fine
                                     MI
You got women, you got women on your mind
       SI7
Have a drink, have a drive
LA                          MI
Go out and see what you can find

If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal
                         
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel
       LA
Speed along the lane, 
                             MI
do a ton or a ton and twenty-five
         SI7
When the sun goes down
        LA                             MI
You can make it, make it good in a lay-by

We're not grey people, 

we're not dirty, we're not mean
                             
We love everybody, but we do as we please
         LA
When the weather's fine, 
                                    MI
we go fishing or go swimming in the sea
             SI7               LA
We're always happy, life's for living
                        MI
Yeah, that's our philosophy

      MI
Sing along with us

Dee-dee-dee, dee-dee

         MI
When the winter's here, yeah it's party time

Bring your bottle, wear your bright clothes

It'll soon be summertime
          LA
And we'll sing again, we'll go driving
                      MI
Or maybe we'll settle down
         SI7                             LA
If she's rich, if she's nice, bring your friends
                      MI
And we'll all go into town...

MI            LA      MI      SI7   LA   MI

Rock Italiano

In The Summertime è un brano famoso scritto e inciso dai Mungo Jerry, contenuto nell'album Electronically Tested pubblicato nel 1971. Secondo lavoro in studio per la band britannica, viene realizzato dopo la loro partecipazione al Festival di Sanremo con "Santo Antonio Santo Francisco", in coppia con il nostrano Piero Focaccia. Questa canzone, però, era già uscita come singolo in anteprima nel 1970 e si era rivelata una hit mondiale; fu scritta dal frontman Ray Dorset in soli 10 minuti!
