Verse 1:
Am G D F
Hot town, summer in the city; back of my neck getting dirty
E
and gritty
Am G D F E
Been down, isn’t it a pity; doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city
E E7
All around, people looking half dead
Am A7
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
Chorus:
D G
But at night it’s a different world
D G
Go out and find a girl
D G
Come-on come-on and dance all night
D G
Despite the heat it’ll be alright
Bm E
And babe, don’t you know it’s a pity
Bm E
That the days can’t be like the nights
Bm E
In the summer, in the city
Bm E
In the summer, in the city
Verse 2:
Am G D F
Cool town, evening in the city; Dressing so fine and looking
E
so pretty
Am G D F
Cool cat, looking for a kitty; Gonna look in every corner
E
of the city
E E7
Till I’m wheezing like a bus stop
Am A7
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
Chorus:
D G
But at night it’s a different world
D G
Go out and find a girl
D G
Come-on come-on and dance all night
D G
Despite the heat it’ll be alright
Bm E
And babe, don’t you know it’s a pity
Bm E
That the days can’t be like the nights
Bm E
In the summer, in the city
Bm E
In the summer, in the city
