Misc Originals – Art Williams - Hotter Than Heck (Guitar)

                 C
It’s hotter than two mice,

                 F
makin’ love in a wool sock.

                 G
Sun beatin’ down hard,

                       C
yeah the heat’s on the clock.

                    C
Sweat’s drippin’ so fast

                 F
it’s considerin’ rent,

         G
Even the shade says,

                    C
“Man, I’m done, I’m spent.”

               F
Air’s thick as gravy,

                     C
Can’t breathe, can’t blink,

               G
My T-shirt’s a towel

                  C
by the time I can think.

              F
Ice cubes are nervous

               C
Fans givin’ up hope,

          C
Popsicles melt

G              C
just tryin’ to cope.

                 F                                 C
Dogs won’t chase squirrels, they just stare at the ground,

                      F
And the pavement’s so hot

                       G
it’s makin’ noises now—sound.

          F
So if you need me,

                 C
I’ll be hidin’ inside,

            C
Dreamin’ of snowstorms

                G
and a real cold ride.

                C
’Cause buddy, I swear,

                   F
and I won’t tell a lie,

                 C
It’s hotter than heck,

G                  C             G C
and that wool sock don’t lie.
