Verse 1:
Am Am/G
Hot town, summer in the city
F#m7 [202210] Fmaj7 E7
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Am Am/G
Been down, isn't it a pity
F#m7 Fmaj7 E
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
E E7
All around, people looking half dead
Am A
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
Chorus (w/autoharp):
G A
But at night it's a different world
G A
Go out and find a girl
G A
Come-on come-on and dance all night
G A
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:
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
[repeat chorus]
