summer in the city chords
the lovin spoonful *
xam D
hot town , summer in the city
Am D
back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Am D
been down , isn’t it a pity
Am D
doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city
E E7
all around , people looking half dead
Am A7
walking on the sidewalk , hotter than a match head
D G
but at night it’s a different world
D G
go out and find a girl
D G
come – on come – on and dance all night
D G
despite the heat it’ll be alright
Bm E
and babe , don’t you know it’s a pity
Bm E
that the days can’t be like the nights
Bm E
in the summer , in the city
Bm E
in the summer , in the city
Am D
cool town , evening in the city
Am D
dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Am D
cool cat , looking for a kitty
Am D
gonna look in every corner of the city
E E7
till i’m wheezing like a bus stop
Am A7
running up the stairs , gonna meet you on the rooftop
D G
but at night it’s a different world

go out and find a girl

come – on come – on and dance all night
