Verse:

Dm        Dm\C

Hot town, summer in the city

Dm\B                    Bb7       A

Back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty

Dm         Dm\C

Been down, isn't it a pity?

Dm\B                 Bb7

Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

A          A7\G        

All around people looking half-dead

Dm\F                     D\F#

Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a matchhead





Chorus:

G                   C

But at night it's a different world

G          C

Go out and find a girl

G                    C

Come on, come on and dance all night

G                      C

Despite the heat it'll be alright

    Em              A

And babe, don't you know it's a pity

    Em         A

The days can't be like the nights

       Em            A

In the summer in the city

       Em            A

In the summer in the city





|Dm    \C |Bb   \A | (with intro riff)





Verse:

Cool town, evenin' in the city

Dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty

Cool cat lookin' for a kitty

Gonna look in ev'ry corner of the city

'Til I'm weezin' at the bus stop

Runnin' up the stairs gonna meet ya on the roof-top



Chorus:

But at night it's a different world

Go out and find a girl

Come on, come on let's dance all night

Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity

The days can't be like the nights

In the summer in the city

In the summer in the city
