[N] [G] [Ab]
[Cm] Hot town, summer in the city, back of my neck getting dirty gritty
Bent down, isn't it a pity, doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
[G] All around, people looking half dead, [C] walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match head
[F] But tonight [Bb] it's a different world, [F] go out and [Bb] find it girl
[F] Come on, come on and [Bb] dance all night, [F] spite the [Bb] heat it'll be alright
[Dm] And babe, don't you [G] know it's a pity [Dm] the days [G] can't be like the nights
In [Dm] the summer, [G] in the city, in [Dm] the summer, in [G] the city
[Cm] Cool town, eating in the city, dressed so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty, gonna look in [Ab] every corner of the city
[G]
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop, [C] running upstairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
[F] But tonight [Bb] it's a different world, [F] go out and [Bb] find it girl
[F] Come on, come on and [Bb] dance all night, [F] spite the heat [Bb] it'll be alright
And [Dm] babe, [G] don't you know it's a pity the days can't be like the nights
[Dm] In the summer, in [G] the city, [Dm] in the summer, in [G] the city
