Summer in the City - Lovin' Spoonful

INTRO:  Am        Am/G        D/F#        F         E     X 2

Am          Am/G               D/F#                    F         E
  Hot town, summer in the city back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Am           Am/G             D/F#                 F             E
  Been down, isn't it a pity  doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
E              E7
  All around, people looking half dead
Am                       A
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

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

Am           Am/G             D/F#                 F             E
Cool town, evening in the city; Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Am           Am/G             D/F#                 F             E
Cool cat, looking for a kitty; Gonna look in every corner of the city
E                         E7
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Am                           A
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
