[Ab]
[G] [Cm] Hot town, summer in the city, [F] back of my neck [Ab] getting [G] dirty and [Cm] gritty
Bent down, isn't it a [A] pity, doesn't seem to [Ab] be a shadow in [G] the city
All around, people looking half [Cm] dead, walking on the [C] sidewalk, hotter than a match head
[F]
[Bb] But tonight it's a different [F] world, [Bb] go out and find a [F] girl
Come on, come [Bb] on, if that's [F] alright, it's like the [Bb] heat, it'll be [Dm] alright
And babe, [G] don't you know it's a [Dm] pity the days [G] can't be like [Dm] the nights
In the summer, [G] in the city, in [Dm] the summer, [G]
in the city
[Cm] Cool town, eating in the city, [A] dressed so [Ab] fine and looking [Cm] so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a [A] kitty, gonna look in [Ab] every [G] corner of the city

[F]
