The Music Is Hot chords by John Hiatt

Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Beginner
Key: C

Verse:
C                                       F
Sheets dance on the line   White as the clouds gone by
G                                       C
Screen door kicking time   As kids melt into the sky
C                                         F
You′re making your moves   Trying just to stay alive
G                     C
And the music is hot
C                      F
WSM on your transistor radio
G                                      C
A song about trains  You can hear that whistle blow
C                                            F
Waylon walks the line  Merle's mama tries to tell him so
G

And the music is hot

Chorus:
F
You got a story ′bout twenty miles long
C
You got a tune like a number one song
G
You got the sweat like the shirt off my back
C
You got the heart, let me open it a crack
F
Fiddle and steel takin' you higher
C
Passed cotton fields and telephone wires
G
Out to the church and the gospel choir
C
And you're gone

Verse:
C                                       F
Sun going down  You′re scrounging to feed the dog
G                                       C
You′re wearing a dress   You saw in a catalog
C                                             F
The crickets have started  To sing with those old bull frogs
G                      C
And the music is hot
C                                     F
You tuck in the kids  And think of a nice long bath
G                                     C
You notice your mom   Staring back from a photograph.
C                                             F
And quick as you turn  You're certain you can hear her laugh
G
And the music is hot

Chorus:
F
You got a story ′bout twenty miles long
C
You got a tune like a number one song
G
You got the sweat like the shirt off my back
C
You got the heart, let me open it a crack
F
Fiddle and steel takin' you higher
C
Passed cotton fields and telephone wires
G
Beyond the church and the gospel choir
F
And you′re gone

Outro:
