Summer In The City Chords by Joe Cocker

Summer In The City chords by Joe Cocker

Guitar 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 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

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]
