Summertime Chords by Dj Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

[Dm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ We're missing the [Dm] summertime
_ [Gm] So just sit back and [Dm] enjoy The [Gm] summertime
Here it is, a groove slightly transformed
[D] Just a bit of a [Gm] break from the norm
Just a little something to break the monotony
[F] Of all that hardcore dance that has [Cm] gotten to be a little [Gm] bit out of control
It's cool to dance, [D] but what about a groove that soothes the [Gm] mood romance?
Give me a soft, subtle mix
[D] And if it ain't broke, then don't try to [G] fix it
And think of the summers of the past
Adjust the bass and let the alpine blast
[Gm] Pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
[D] And put your car on [Gm] cruise
And lay back, cause it's the summertime
_ School
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Cm] _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Cm] is [G] out and it's sort of a buzz
But back then I [Dm] didn't really know [Gm] what it was
But now I see what happened is
The way that people respond to summer madness
The weather is hot and girls are dressing less
And checking out the fellas to tell them who's best
Riding around in your Jeep or your [Dm] Benzos
Or in [Gm] your Nissan [F] sitting on [G] Lorenzos
Back in Philly we'd be out in the park
A place called the Plateau is where [Cm] everybody go
Guys out [Gm] hunting and girls doing likewise
[Dm] Honking at the honey in front of you with [Gm] the light eyes
She'd turn around and see what you [Dm] beaping at
It's like the summer's a natural [Gm] aphrodisiac
And with a fan of that I composed this rhyme
To [Dm] hit you with and get you equipped
For the [Gm] summertime
Summer, summer, summer, summer _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] To set back the world
[Gm] It's late midday and I ain't been on the court yet
Hustle to [D] the mall to get me a short set
[Gm] Yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
Cause [F] basketball courts in the summer got [Gm] girls there
The temperature's about 88
Hop in the water plug just for old time's sake
Break to your crib change your clothes once more
Cause you're [Dm] invited to a barbecue to start with [G] four
Sitting with your friends as y'all reminisce
About the days growing up and the [D] first person you [Gm] kissed
And as I think back makes me wonder how
The smell from a grill can [Fm] spark off [Gm] nostalgia
All the kids playing out front
Little boys messing around with the [D] girls playing [Gm] double dutch
While the DJ's spinning a tune
As the old folks [Dm] dance at your family [Gm] reunion
Then [G] six o'clock rolls [Cm] around
You just finished wiping your [Gm] car down
It's time to cruise so you go to the summertime
[Dm] Hang out it looks like a [Gm] car show
Everybody come looking real [F] fine
Fresh from the barber shop or fly from the [Eb] beauty salon
Every moment frontin' and massin'
[F] Chillin' in the car they spend all day [Eb] waxin'
Leanin' to the side but [G] you can't speed through
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
There's an [Eb] air of love and of happiness
And [Gm] this is the Fresh Prince's new definition of summer madness _ _ _
