Verse 1:
Am Am/G D9/F# Fmaj7 E
Hot town summer in the city, back of neck getting dirty and gritty,
Am Am/G D9/F# Fmaj7 E
Been down, isn’t it a pity? Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city,
E E7/G#
All around, people looking half dead,
Am A
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head!
Chorus:
D G D G
But at night it’s a different world, go out and find a girl,
D G D
Come on, come on, and dance all night, despite the heat
G
it’ll be alright,
Bm E Bm E
And, babe, don’t you know, it’s a pity the days can’t be
like the nights,
Bm E Bm E
In the summer…in the city, in the summer… in the city!
Verse 2:
Am Am/G D9/F#
Cool town, evening in the city, dressing so fine,
Fmaj7 E
and looking so pretty,
Am Am/G D9/F#
Cool cat, looking for a kitty, gonna look in every corner
Fmaj7 E
of the city,
E E7/G#
Till I’m wheezing like a bus stop,
Am A
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop!
Chorus:
