I like playing the “C” as “C/G” like this:
     C  CM7  C7
E|---0---0---0----|
B|---1---0---1----|
G|---0---0---3----|
D|---2---2---2----|
A|---3---3---3----|
E|---3---3---0----|
I Also Like To Add “Fmaj7” As A Transition Between “F” To “Dm” (And Sometimes From “G7” To “Dm”) [Intro] C Cmaj7 C7 X2 [Verse]
C       Cmaj7              C7
Lying in the meadow green

                  F               Dm
Dangling legs in a mountain stream

                        G7            Dm
From the limb, we could jump right in

          G7                        C
Again and again and again and again

                 Cmaj7         C7
Up in the orchard on the hill

             F                  Dm
Sat right down and had our fill

                    G7                    Dm
And though the clouds are touched with grey

            G7                  C
We know no rain will fall today
[Chorus]
C         Cmaj7                   C7
So let's take the long way home

                 F                   Dm
And circle 'round the standing stone

               G7                     Dm
Through the fields and the old barway

                G7
We fill our pockets up with pecans along

    C
the way
[Verse]
        Cmaj7                 C7
All along the railroad track

                  F                 Dm
Slip off that rail, break your back

              G7                    Dm
Hear the sound of the croaking toad

                G7               C
The sun so round and red and low
[Chorus]
    Cmaj7   C7
Summertime,

     F     Dm
summertime

      G7                      Dm
Summertime must yield to fall

                G7                   C
And that's what hurts me most of all
[Outro]
     Cmaj7   C7
Summertime,

      F    Dm
summertime

         G7                     Dm
Said goodbye at the garden wall

              G7                           Dm
From the house, I can hear my momma callin'

              G7                 Dm
Winter come to us all, my friend

                G7       C
Just as every childhood… has an end
