Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime

Originally in E, I play in D, barre chords preferred in D (open preferred in E)

Intro

DDDD

GGDD

AGDD

In the Dsummertime, when the weather is high

You can stretch right up and touch the sky

When the Gweather’s fine, you got women, you got women on your Dmind

Have a Adrink, have a drive

GGo out and see what you can Dfind

If her Ddaddy’s rich, take her out for a meal

If her daddy’s poor, just do what you feel

Speed aGlong the lane, do a ton or a ton and twenty-Dfive

When the Asun goes down

You can Gmake it make it good in a lay-Dby

We’re not Dbad people, we’re not dirty, we’re not mean

We love everybody but we do as we please

When the Gweather’s fine, we go fishing or go sailing in the Dsea

We’re always Ahappy

Life’s for Gliving yeah that’s our philosoDphy

DDDD

GGDD

AGDD

When the Dwinter’s here, yeah, it’s party time

Bring a bottle, wear your bright clothes, it’ll soon be summertime

And we’ll Gsing again, we’ll go driving or maybe we’ll settle Ddown

If she’s Arich, if she’s nice

Bring your Gfriends and we’ll all go into Dtown

Everything stops here in the original for engine noises, you know,

because they’re going into town. If no engine noises are available, play

straight into this instrumental break.
