| Hot town, | summer in the city. |
| Am/F# | Fmaj7 | E7 | |
| Back of my neck gettin' | dirty and grit | ty. |
| Am | Am/G | |
| Been down | isn't it a pitty, |
| Am/F# | Fmaj7 | E7 | |
| doesn't seem to be a | shadow in the ci | ty. |
| E | E7 | |
| All around | people looking half dead, |
| Am | A | |
| walking on a sideway | hotter than a matchhead. |
| D | G | |
| But at night it's a | diff'rent world, |
| D | G | |
| Go out and | find a girl. |
| D | G | |
| Come on, come on and | dance all night, |
| D | G | |
| despite the head it'll | be all right. |
| Bm | E | |
| And | baby don't you | know it's a pitty |
| Bm | E | |
| That the | days can't | be like the night |
| Bm | E | |
| in the | summer in the | city |
| Bm | E | |
| in the | summer in the | city |
| Cool down, evenin' in the city. |
| Dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty. |
| Cool cat, lookin' for a kitty. |
| Gonna look in every corner of the city. |
| Till I'm wheezin' like a bus stop, |
| runnin' up the stairs gonna meet you on the rooftop. |
| But at night it's a diff'rent world... |
