[Verse 1]
          Dm7             G/A   Dm7                  G/A
It was a hot and sultry day    somewhere in early September

          Dm7                  G/A
I don't hardly remember the day

         Dm7            G/A                Dm7   G/A
Just the way the sun beat down upon the bay, baby
[Verse 2]
  Dm7                     G/A
I did not even need to know your name

        Dm7                G/A                Dm7      G/A
It was, oh, so plain to see that you had eyes for me

Dm7                            G/A                  Dm7     G/A
Halfway open, halfway closed, half-naked eyes for me, baby
[Chorus]
         Dm7               G/A                 Dm7      G/A
It was a slow burning love, a fair-weather love affair

    Dm7                        G/A
A slow burning, smoldering love for you and I

             Dm7                          G/A          Dm7  G/A
And like the sun on the edge of the Western sky, it died
[Bridge]
        Cmaj9
Oh, the lights of the city were close at hand

  Dm7
I might just as well have been another man

    Bbmaj9
You might just as well have been another girl

    Dmaj9
It might just as well have been another world
[Chorus]
         Dm7               G/A                 Dm7      G/A
It was a slow burning love, a fair-weather love affair

    Dm7                        G/A
A slow burning, smoldering love for you and I

             Dm7                          G/A          Dm7  G/A
And like the sun on the edge of the Western sky, it died

     Dm7             G/A  Dm7 G/A
Oh, slow burning love

        Dm7          G/A            Dm7      G/A
You were smoking up that day, some kind of hot

         Dm7               G/A                 Dm7      G/A
It was a slow burning love, a fair-weather love affair

    Dm7                        G/A
A slow burning, smoldering love for you and I

             Dm7                          G/A          Dm7  G/A
And like the sun on the edge of the Western sky, it died
