Summer In The City chords by Joe Cocker

Chords with lyrics

Credit to niuguitarman for the chords to the original, I've merely transposed it
and added in the extra bits/key changes from Cocker's version. You could play it
as A minorAm with a capo on the 5th fret if you so wished, transpose it 5 steps down
using controls if applicable.

[Intro]
A#A# (repeat)

[verse 1:]
A augmentedA
 Hot town, summer in the city; back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
A augmentedA
 Been down, isn't it a pity; doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
A7A7
 All around, people looking half dead
D MajorD
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
[chorus:]
C majorC
 But at night it's a different world
C majorC
 Go out and find a girl
C majorC
 Come-on come-on and dance all night
C majorC
 Despite the heat it'll be alright
  A augmentedA
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
     A augmentedA
That the days can't be like the nights
    A augmentedA
In the summer, in the city
    A augmentedA
In the summer, in the city

A#A# (repeat)

[verse 2:]
Cool town, evening in the city; Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty; Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
