Summertime composed in 1934 by George Gerswin
Lyrics by DuBose Heyward (based on the novel Porgy)
The chords used adapted for guitar from a keyboard rendition.
I think they sound nice on Guitar too
I could not find them online so that's why I'm put them here.
I could not find the Gm79 chord anywhere but I think this should work,
you can also keep playing the normal Gm and D7 instead.
Jazz substitute chords:
Gm79: 353365
D7#5#9: x54566
