Summertime George Gershwin Alright, so most of the versions for this song were fairly accurate with the general chord progression of this song, however, i believe that there were some major changes that could be made to improve the overall quality of the song. Major change- The Em in most of the versions was simply not doing the song justice, by making it an Edim7 in most places it adds greatly to the jazzy tune of the song. Here is how i play the chords... Bm [ch]Edim7[/ch] F#7 Em D G7 {sot (guitaretab.com)
