"Summer in the City"
                        Lovin' Spoonful

Intro -- See Appendix

VERSE 1:

Cm        Bb
Hot town, summer in the city
F                       Ab
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty  
Cm         Bb
Been down, isn't it a pity
F                    Ab
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
G           G7
All around, people looking half dead
Cm                       C
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head.


CHORUS:

F                   Bb
But at night it's a different world
F          Bb
Go out and find a girl
F                   Bb
Come-on come-on and dance all night
F                      Bb
Despite the heat it'll be alright
    Dm              G
And Babe, don't you know it's a pity
	 Dm         G
That the days can't be like the nights
       Dm             G            Dm             G
In the summer, In the city, In the summer, In the city


VERSE 2:

Cm         Bb
Cool town, evening in the city
F                    Ab
Dressed so fine and looking so pretty
Cm        Bb
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
F                   Ab
Gonna look in every corner of the city
G        G7
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Cm                     C
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you at the rooftop.


CHORUS:

F                   Bb
But at night it's a different world
F          Bb
Go out and find a girl
F                   Bb
Come-on come-on and dance all night
F                      Bb
Despite the heat it'll be alright
    Dm              G
And Babe, don't you know it's a pity
	 Dm         G
That the days can't be like the nights
       Dm             G            Dm             G
In the summer, In the city, In the summer, In the city
