[Verse 1]
Am Am/G D/F# F E Hot town, summer in the city; back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Am Am/G D/F# F E Been down, isn't it a pity; doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city E E7 All around, people looking half dead Am A7 Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
[Chorus]
D G But at night it's a different world D G Go out and find a girl D G Come-on come-on and dance all night D G Despite the heat it'll be alright Bm E And babe, don't you know it's a pity Bm E That the days can't be like the nights Bm E In the summer, in the city Bm E In the summer, in the city
[Verse 2]
Am Am/G D/F# F E Cool town, evenin' in the city; dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty Am Am/G D/F# F E Cool cat, lookin' for a kitty; gonna look in every corner of the city E E7 Till I'm wheezin' like a bus stop Am A Runnin' up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
[Chorus]
D G But at night it's a different world D G Go out and find a girl D G Come-on come-on and dance all night D G Despite the heat it'll be alright Bm E And babe, don't you know it's a pity Bm E The days can't be like the nights Bm E In the summer, in the city Bm E In the summer, in the city
