"Summertime"

I've been working on and practicing "She's Coming Home" lately, but a part of the bass part is similar to part of the bass part in "Summertime" (and part of the bass part in "She's Not There") (did I use part enough?).

So I got thinking about the bass part of "Summertime," and I thought the chords would be pretty easy to figure out from it, and they were.  The rhythm is a bit difficult though, which is why I come in a bit late and have some problems with the last part.

Also, it's timely that I figured this out now, as to-morrow is the 50th anniversary (12 June 1964) of the Zombies' recording this song (along with "She's Not There," "You Make Me Feel Good," and "It's Alright with Me").
