Summer in the city
Dm - Bb - Dm - Bb (2x) - A
Dm F G Bb
1. Hot town, summer in the city,
back of my neck getting dirty and gritty,
Dm F G Bb
been down, isn’t
it a pity, doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city.
A A7
All around, people looking half dead,
Dm
D
walking on the
sidewalk, hotter than a match head.
G C - G C
But at night it’s a different
world, go out and find a girl,
G C G C
come on, come on and dance all
night, despite the heat it’ll be alright.
Em A Em A
And, babe, don’t you know it’s a pity that the days can’t be like the
nights,
Em A Em A
in the summer, in the city, in
the summer, in the city.

2. Cool town, evening in the
city, dressing so fine and looking so pretty,
Dm F G Bb
cool cat looking
for a kiddy, gonna look in
every corner of the city.
A A7
Till I’m wheezing like a bus stop,
Dm D
running up the
stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop.
