THOSE LAZY-HAZY-CRAZY DAYS OF SUMMER

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, those days of soda and pretzels and beer

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer

Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies then lock the house up now you’re set

And on the beach you’ll see the girls in their bikinis, as cute as ever but they never get them wet

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, those days of soda and pretzels and beer

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, you’ll wish that summer could always be here

Don’t have to tell a girl and feller ‘bout a drive-in or some romantic movie scene

Why from the moment that those lovers start arrivin’

You’ll see more kissing in the cars than on the screen

Those Hazy-Lazy-Crazy Days of Summer p.2

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, those days of soda and pretzels and beer

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, you’ll wish that summer could always be here

And there’s the good old fashioned picnic, and they still go, always will go any time

And there will always be a moment that can thrill so, as when the old quartet sings out “Sweet Adeline”

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, those days of soda and pretzels and beer

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, you’ll wish that summer could always be here

You’ll wish that summer could always be here

You’ll wish that summer could always be here

IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME 3/4 123 1

In the good old summertime, in the good old summer-time

Strolling through the shady lanes with your baby mine.

You hold her hand and she holds yours and that’s a very good sign

REPEAT That she’s your tootsie-wootsie in the good old summer-time.

Intro: First 4 chords X2 THE SUMMER WIND

The summer wind came blowin’ in from a-cross the sea

It lingered there, so warm and fair, to walk with me

All summer long, we sang a song and strolled on golden sand

Two sweethearts and, and the summer wind

Like painted kites those days and nights went flyin’ by

The world was new, be-neath a blue um-brella sky

Then softer than a piper man one day it called to you

And I lost you to….. …. to the summerwind

The autumn wind and the winter wind have come and gone

And still the days, those lonely days go on and on

And guess who sighs his lulla- bies through nights that never end

My fickle friend, the summer wind…….the summer wind…….the summer wind.

1[Dm] [C] [Bb] [A7+5]Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own [Dm] [C] [Bb] [A7+5]He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home; [Dm] [C] [Bb] [A7+5]He tried and he tried to give the cat away, [Dm] [C] [Bb]/// [A7+5]///////He gave it to a man goin' far, far away.

[Dm] [C] [Bb] [A7+5]But the cat came back the very next day, [Dm] [C] [Bb] [A7+5]The cat came back, we thought he was a goner [Dm] [C] [Bb] [A7+5] [Dm] But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away. [C] [Bb] [A7+5]Away, away, away

The man around the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight,He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite;He waited and he waited for the cat to come around,Ninety seven pieces of the man is all they found.

He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note,Told him for to take it up the river in a boat;They tied a rope around its neck, it must have weighed a poundNow they drag the river for a little boy that's drowned.

He gave it to a man going up in a balloon,He told him for to take it to the man in the moon;The balloon came down about ninety miles away,Where he is now, well I dare not say.

He gave it to a man going way out West,Told him for to take it to the one he loved the best;First the train hit the curve, then it jumped the rail,Not a soul was left behind to tell the gruesome tale.

The cat, it had some company one night out in the yard,Someone threw a boot-jack, and they threw it mighty hard;It caught the cat behind the ear, she thought it rather slight,When along came a brick-bat and knocked the cat out of sight.

Away across the ocean they did send the cat at last,Vessel only out a day and making water fast;People all began to pray, the boat began to toss,A great big gust of wind came by and every soul was lost.

On a telegraph wire, sparrows sitting in a bunch,The cat was feeling hungry, thought she'd like 'em for a lunch;Climbing softly up the pole, and when she reached the top,Put her foot upon the electric wire, which tied her in a knot.

The cat was a possessor of a family of its own,With seven little kittens, ‘til there came a cyclone;Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat around,The air was full of kittens, and not a one was ever found.

The atom bomb fell just the other day,The H-Bomb fell in the very same way;Russia went, England went, and then the U.S.A.The human race was �nished without a chance to pray.

NOTE: Each chord gets an even count; I do two beats per chord. I add some extra beats to the last two chords of each section.Practice getting a feel for the chord changes and watch for pick up notes.
