Baritone ukulele cover of Summer Friends by Chance the Rapper from the album, Coloring Book.
Chords and Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
D# G
Socks on concrete, jolly rancher kids
G# G#m
I was talking back and now I gotta stay at grandma's crib
D# G
Bunch of tank top, nappy headed bike-stealing Chatham boys
G# G#m
None of my nigga's ain't had no dad, none of my nigga's ain't have no choice
D# G
JJ, Mikey, Lil Derek and them, 79th street was America then
G# G#m
Ice cream truck and the beauty supply, Blockbuster movies and Harold's again
D# G
We still catching lightening bugs, When the plague hit the backyard
G# G#m
Had to come in at dark cause the big shawty's act hard
D# G
Okay now Day camp at Grand Crossing, First day, nigga's shooting
G# G#m
Summer school get to losing students, But the CPD getting new recruitment
D# G
Our summer don't, our summer, our summer don't get no shine no more
G# G#m
Our summer die, our summer time don't got no time no more
[Hook - Chance The Rapper & (Francis & The Lights):]
D# G
(You're my friend) Summer friends don't stay
G# G#m D#
(You're my friend) Some friends just stay-ay-ay,
G G#
(You're missed) stay around
G#m
Summer friends, summer friends
D# G G#
(You're my friend...) Summer friends don't stay
G#m D# G
Summer friends don't stay-ay-ay, hey
G# G#m
Stay around
[Verse 2]
D# G
Oh I used to kill 'em with the long hair
G# G#m
Momma had salon doing perms out the armchair
D# G
Dad was working late, he treat the crib like it's a timeshare
G# G#m
I would mow some lawns fold my ones like a lawn chair, hugh, hugh!
D# G
Now I'm the same way, over time all the time, every night, hey
G# G#m
Ready my blessing, now I'm ready how I wait, Never let a friendship get in my way
D# G
Never let a blog get in my way, Make the whole song do whatever I say
G# G#m
79, 79, 79, 79 place, 79, 79, 79, 79 place
D# G
Some of my homegirls got lost in the paperwork
G# G#m
They was good friends but I faked the flirt, Cause if it ain't work, can't make it work
D# G
It's been a minute since I called on a friend
G# G#m D#
Fucked up and fucked all my friends
G G# G#m
All my friends, all my...
[Chorus - Chance The Rapper & (Francis & The Lights):]
G G# G#m D#
(You're missed) Stick around, Summer friends, summer friends...
G G# G#m
(You're my friend...)
D# G
Summer friends don't stick around
G# G#m
Stick around (And some of us...)
D# G
79, 79, 79, 79, hey, 79, 79, 79, 79, hey
G# G#m
79, 79, 79, 79, hey, hey, hey
D# G G#
(You're my friend) 79, 79, 79, 79, hey
G#m D#
(So lay your head on my shoulder) City wide, city wide, city wide, hey
G
City wide, city wide, city wide, hey
G#
City wide, city wide, city wide, hey
G#m
City wide, city wide, city wide, hey
D#
City wide, city wide, city wide, city wide
G
City wide, city wide, city wide, city wide
G#
City wide, City wide, city wide, city wide
G#m
City wide, city wide, city wide, city wide
D#
City wide, city wide...
(I will wait around for you)
(I will wait around for you)
(So lay your head...)

What do you picture when you hear the word, “Success”?
I bet you think of fast cars, big bucks, and hot women diving head first into a Scrooge McDuckean vault of gold coins.
But not me. Nuh-uh. No way Jose!
If you haven’t already read it on the front page of the Times (Or the Atlantic, or the Journal)
I’ve recently hit passed the 300 subscriber mark on Youtube.
With a calculated 39,930 total views and counting…
And a total of 9 videos with over 1,000 views and my top vid currently at 3,801 views.
Good things come in 3’s…
As you can see, I’m a pretty big deal over at Youtube HQ
Kanye’s gonna be knock knockin’ at my door BEGGING for a feature.
#blessed #humblebrag #yolo
But in all seriousness…
It is pretty cool I guess. It’s a start. It’s basically nothing in the grand scheme of youtube, but it’s something.
So thank you guys for your support. For real.
Now,
Remember how I said I made a bunch of videos?
I wasn’t lying…
And hey, it’s Black History Month!
And my next two videos happen to be by black artists.
Including one of my all-time favorites, Chance the Rapper!
Here’s your priority-access, first look, at my new cover of “Summer Friends” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps4phmJIDdY
Feel free to leave a like, comment, smash, tweet, tiktak, or whatever it is you kids do these days.
Til next time,

P.S. Just a reminder that my good friend Viktor aka Pontless Cake and I made a cover of Childish Gambino’s Redbone and you should show him some love over at his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh60R5PzNgg
