 Em7                 F#m7         Em7   
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,    
G   Am7                               Em7(riff)
    Ain't no love... in the heart of town,
 Em7                    F#m7           Em7  
Ain't no love, and it's sure 'nough a pity,   
G   Cmaj7/G         Am7                      Em7    F#m7 Em7 
     Ain't no love,    'cause you ain't a - round!


Em7(riff)      Em            G                Am7
          When you were mine---,  oh, I was feeling so good,
           D7sus4                      Em
'Cause your love lit up... this old neighbourhood,  
     Em                    G                 Am7
But, now that you're gone----, you know, the sun don't shine,
        D7sus4                C           G         D/F#
From the City Hall...to the County Line!     That's why I said...

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,

Em7(riff)       Em               G          Am7             A7Sus4  Am7
         Every place that I go,     oh, it seems so strange,
     D7sus4             Em
With - out you there, things have changed,
       Em              G              Am7              A7Sus4 Am7
When night time call-----, there's a blanket of gloom,
        D7sus4                   C           G     D/F#
Another teardrop fall... in my lonely room!       I said, now...
