Lyrics
Sum mer time is fi n’lly here, that old at park De man is back in gear out on (A)for ty nine,
man, I can see the lights.
School’s out and the nights roll in, man, just like a long lost friend you ain’t (A)seen in a while.
Can’t help but smile.
And it’s two bare feet on the dash board,
young love and an old Ford.
Cheap shades and a (F#7)tat too and a Yoo (A)hoo
bot tle on the floor board.
Per fect song on the ra di o,
sing a long ’cause it’s one we know.
It’s a smile, it’s a kiss, it’s a sip of wine, it’s sum mer time,
sweet sum mer time.
Tem p’ra ture says nine ty three that down at the De pos it and an tee, but that (A)swim min’ hole,
man, it’s can nice and cold.
Bi ki ni bot toms der neath, but boys’ hearts still skip a beat when them (A)girls in shim my
them old cut offs.
And it’s two bare feet on the dash board,
young love and an old Ford.
Cheap shades and a (F#7)tat too and a Yoo (A)hoo
bot tle on the floor board.
Per fect song on the ra di o,
sing a long ’cause it’s one we know.
It’s a smile, it’s a kiss, it’s a sip of wine, it’s sum mer time,
sweet sum mer time.
The more things change,
the more they stay the same.
Don’t mat ter how old you are, when you know what I’m talk in’ ’bout.

- Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Summertime" by Kenny Chesney. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
- Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
- It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
- Can I change the key of "Summertime" to match my voice or capo?
- Yes. The original is in E, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
- Can I slow "Summertime" down to learn the words and chords?
- Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
