VERSE 1:
C#m
Hot town,
E
summer in the city
F#
Back of my neck getting
A
dirty and gritty
C#m
Been down,
E
Isn't it a pity
F#
Doesn't seem to be a
A
shadow in the city
G#
All around,
G#7
people looking half dead
C#m
Walking on the sidewalk,
C#
hotter than a match head.
CHORUS:
F#
But at night it's a
B
different world
F#
Go out and
B
find a girl
F#
Come-on come-on and
B
dance all night
F#
Despite the heat it'll
B
be alright
And
Ebm
Babe, don't you
G#m
know it's a pity
That the
Ebm
days can't
G#
be like the nights
In the
Ebm
summer, In the
G#
city, In the
Ebm
summer, In the
G#
city
VERSE 2:
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so sharp and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing at a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you at the rooftop.
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And Babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, In the city, In the summer, In the city
