In the summertime when the weather is high,
                              
you can stretch right up and touch the sky,
         A                                                     E 
when the weather is fine, you got women, you got women on your mind.        
       B                                              E 
Have a drink, have a drive, 
A                           E 
go out and see what you can find.


      E 
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal,
                           
if her daddy's poor, just do as you feel.
        A                                          E 
Speed along the lane, do a ton or a ton and twenty-five.
         B                        
When the sun goes down,   
        A                            E 
you can make it make it good in a lay-by.


              E 
We're not grey people, we're not dirty, we're not mean,
                             
we love everybody but we do as we please.
         A                                                    E 
When the weather is fine, we go fishing or go swimming in the sea.      
              B     
We're always happy,
           A                                 E
life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy.


      E

When the winter's here, yeah, it's party-time, 
                                                       
bring a bottle, wear your bright clothes, it'll soon be summertime.
          A                                                  E 
And we'll sing again, we'll go driving or maybe we'll settle down.    
         B                              
If she's rich if she's nice, 
           A                              E 
bring your friend and we will all go into town.

Thank you for doing this song! I love it 😀

DaFabEgg

Okay, people. Before you ask for an easier version of this song, let me just TELL you. It’s +1 that seems easier to me (Of course, in MY opinion.)

VivaLaSAVE!

The normal version isn’t too bad as is. It just looks a bit daunting cause it’s not normal chords for the most part. You can switch B to AbM really easy by just moving your index finger back and placing your pinkie on the E string spot. For DbM you can just bar the first with your index (and middle if you need it) and partially bar the fourth with your pinkie. The biggest issue is E with I think the website has some tips on. Just work on your transitions to each chord and you can do it!

Biography

Mungo Jerry is an English folk/classic rock group from Ashford, Englandwhose greatest success was in the early 1970s, though they have continued throughout the years with an ever-changing line-up, always fronted by Ray Dorset. They are remembered above all for their hit “In the Summertime”. It remains their most successful and most instantly recognisable song. Their name was inspired by the poem Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer, from T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.
