[Ab]
[G] [Cm] Hot down, summer in the city, [F] back of my neck [Ab] getting [G] dirty and [Cm] gritty
Bend down, isn't it a [A] pity, doesn't seem to [Ab] be a [G] shadow in the city
All around, people looking half [Cm] dead, walking on the [C] sidewalk hotter than a match, yeah
[F] But [Bb] tonight it's a different [F] world, [Bb] go out and find a [F] girl
Come on, come [Bb] on and dance all [F] night, it's like the [Bb] heat, it'll be [Dm] alright
And babe, [G] those who know what's [Dm] at stake, 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 [Eb] town, meeting [A] in the city, dressed so [Ab] fine and looking so [Cm] pretty
Cool cat, looking for a [A] kitty, gonna look [Ab] in every [G] corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus [Cm] stop, running upstairs, [C] gonna meet you on the rooftop
[F] But tonight [Bb] it's a different world, go out and find a [F] girl
Come on, come on [Bb] and dance all [F] night, it's like the [Bb] heat, it'll be alright
[Dm] But tonight it's a different world, go out and find a girl
And babe, [G] those who know what's at stake, [Dm] the days [G] can't be like the [Dm] nights
