[Intro] Dm Bb x4 [Verse 1]
Dm          Dm/C                Dm/B                    Bb         A
  Hot town, summer in the city; back of my neck getting dirty and gritty

Dm           Dm/C             Dm/B                 Bb            A
  Been down, isn't it a pity; doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

A              A7/G
  All around, people looking half dead

Dm/F                       D7/F#
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
[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
That 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         Dm/C                 Dm/B                 Bb         A
Cool town, evening in the city; Dressing so fine and looking so pretty

Dm        Dm/C                 Dm/B                 Bb           A
Cool cat, looking for a kitty; Gonna look in every corner of the city

A         A7/G
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop

Dm/F                         D7/F#
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
[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
That the days can't be like the nights

       Em             A
In the summer, in the city

       Em             A
In the summer, in the city
