like playing the "C" as "C/G" like this:
C CM7 C7
E|---0---0---0----|
B|---1---0---1----|
G|---0---0---3----|
D|---2---2---2----|
A|---3---3---3----|
E|---3---3---0----|
I Also Like To Add "Fmaj7" As A Transition
Between "F" To "Dm"
(And Sometimes From "G7" To "Dm")
Intro
C Cmaj7 C7 X2
Verse
C Cmaj7 C7
Lying in the meadow green
F Dm
Dangling legs in a mountain stream
G7 Dm
From the limb, we could jump right in
G7 C
Again and again and again and again
Cmaj7 C7
Up in the orchard on the hill
F Dm
Sat right down and had our fill
G7 Dm
And though the clouds are touched with grey
G7 C
We know no rain will fall today
Chorus
C Cmaj7 C7
So let's take the long way home
F Dm
And circle 'round the standing stone
G7 Dm
Through the fields and the old barway
G7
We fill our pockets up with pecans along
C
the way
Verse
Cmaj7 C7
All along the railroad track
F Dm
Slip off that rail, break your back
G7 Dm
Hear the sound of the croaking toad
G7 C
The sun so round and red and low
Chorus
Cmaj7 C7
Summertime,
F Dm
summertime
G7 Dm
Summertime must yield to fall
G7 C
And that's what hurts me most of all
Outro
Cmaj7 C7
Summertime,
F Dm
summertime
G7 Dm
Said goodbye at the garden wall
G7 Dm
From the house, I can hear my momma callin'
G7 Dm
Winter come to us all, my friend
G7 C
Just as every childhood… has an end
