Intro
[Dm] [Bb]
Verse 1
[Dm] Hot town, [Dm/C]summer in the city; [Dm/B]back of my neck getting [Bb]dirty and [A]gritty
[Dm] Been down, [Dm/C]isn't it a pity; [Dm/B]doesn't seem to be a [Bb]shadow in the [A]city
[A] All around, [A7/G]people looking half dead
[Dm/F]Walking on the sidewalk, [D7/F#]hotter than a match head
Chorus
[G] But at night it's a [C]different world
[G] Go out and [C]find a girl
[G] Come-on come-on and [C]dance all night
[G] Despite the heat it'll [C]be alright
And [Em]babe, don't you [A]know it's a pity
That the [Em]days can't [A]be like the nights
In the [Em]summer, in the [A]city
In the [Em]summer, in the [A]city
