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 Am with a capo on the 5th fret if you so wished, transpose it 5 steps down using controls if applicable. [Intro] A# (repeat) [verse 1:] A Hot town, summer in the city; back of my neck getting dirty and gritty A Been down, isn't it a pity; doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city A7 All around, people looking half dead D
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head [chorus:] C But at night it's a different world C Go out and find a girl C Come-on come-on and dance all night C Despite the heat it'll be alright A And babe, don't you know it's a pity A That the days can't be like the nights A In the summer, in the city A In the summer, in the city [Link] 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 [chorus] [Link] [Instrumental break] Chords as verse [chorus] [Link to outro] B (repeat) [Outro] (Verse but up a tone)
