_ There was a time not too [Bb] far gone [A] when I was changed by [D] just a song on the radio, [Bb] in the
car [A] of a pounding [Dm] electric _ guitar.
Then the time came [Bb] to make our [A] stand.
We [Am] started up a [D] four-piece band, and the heat felt [Bb] like _ spotlights [Am] in the heart of a [D] hot
summer night, yeah.
Ooh, ooh, [Bb] ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, [A] ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, hot summer [Dm] _ _
nights.
Ooh, ooh, [Bb] ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, [A] ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, hot summer [Dm] nights. _
_ _ Returned with me to when times [Bb] were best.
[Am] We were friends that could [Dm] pass any test.
We shared our hopes, our [Bb] dreams, and our goals, [A] and the [Dm] fundamental role.
_ As we sang in a [Bb] hot, dark room, [A] _ happy just [Dm] to play our tune.
