verse 1:
D A
it’s a hot night
D A
and I don’t feel like sleepin
D A
I got too much commotion
E A
runnin round my mind
D A
some kind of second sight
D A
I see the meaning of everything
D A
with the fever of the free and easy
E A
in the summertime
chorus 1:
D A
ain’t nobody gonna give it to ya
E
you got to steal it
D A
ain’t nobody gonna live it for ya
E
so you better feel it now
verse 2:
D A
it’s a hot night
D A
I hear the dogs in the distance
D A
I hear the men comin down the street
E A
pickin up the trash
D A
it sounds like a fist fight
D A
like a squalid existence
D A
but they’re singin in the dawnin day
E A
like nobody asked

verse 3:
D A
it’s a hot night
D A
and I don’t feel like sleepin
D A
lying next to my lover
E A
and I can hear his dreams

I feel like rising bread
D A
like a hothouse flower
D A
like I’m drunk on whiskey sour
E A
down the street in New Orleans

D A
it’s a hot night
D A
lying next to my lover
D A
and there’s nowhere tomorrow
E A
that I need to get

so I say not quite
D A
don’t take this night away from me
D A E A
I don’t feel like sleepin yet
D A E A
I said I don’t feel like sleeping
