[Gm] [C]
[F] [C] [F] It must [C] be summer in a river [F] city
[Gm] But the gunshots ring out [C] twice a day
[F] By [C] can'ton heat we've all [F] gone crazy
[Gm] And sirens [C] sing the long hard [F] night away
[Bb] There's no relief in a [F] river city
[G] Dead swimming pool, cold [C] beer and wine
But [F] [C] that's no way to [F] treat a lady
You gotta [Gm] get her [C] out of town come [F] summertime
[C] [F] It's gonna be a long hot summer
I think it's time that we went somewhere
[G] Baby, just [C] me and you
[Ab] [F] Let's leave the city behind
Together we can pass the [G] time
Far away [C] from the city in summer [F] blood
[C] [F] Crying [C] legs on the sidewalk
[F] Sweet sirens sing don't walk [Gm] anywhere
You better keep [C] inside
[F] Fox [C] fans is buzzing in the [F] wind
Our spot's wide open, why don't [Gm] we go
Out [C] where the weather's [F] on our side
[Bb] They can tear the streets up [F] in this city
[G] Yes, but as long as we don't let them [C] tear us down
[F] We'll [C] keep our cool out [F] here in the country
[Gm] Where city [C] summer blues [F] can't be found
[C] [F] It's gonna be a long hot summer
I think it's time that we went [G] somewhere
Baby, just [C] me and you

Somewhere across [C] that river city, [F] let me sigh
