    Hot town summer in the city, back of neck getting dirty and gritty,
Am             Am/G              D9/F#                Fmaj7         E
    Been down, isn't it a pity? Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city,
E                E7/G#
    All around, people looking half dead,
  Am                        A
Walking on the side walk, hotter than a matchhead!      


D                          G             D              G
   But at night it's a different world,     go out and find a girl,
  D                     G                  D                   G
Come on, come on, and dance all night,  despite the heat it'll be alright,
      Bm               E                    Bm        E
And, babe, don't you know, it's a pity the days can't be like the nights,
         Bm             E             Bm              E
In the summer...in the city, in the summer... in the city!


Am               Am/G                 D9/F#                Fmaj7       E
    Cool town, evening in the city, dressing so fine, and looking so pretty,
Am               Am/G                 D9/F#                Fmaj7         E
    Cool cat,  looking for a kitty,   gonna look in every corner of the city,
E              E7/G#
    Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop,
  Am                               A
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop!

Come on, come on, and dance all night,  despite the heat it'll be alright,

In the summer...in the city, in the summer... in the city!
