Verse 1:
             F            G        Am                Am G Em
 I think she was a middle-distance runner...
Em        F             Am                           Am G Em
 the translation wasn't clear.
Em                          Dm                       Dm F G
 Could be a budding stately hero.
G                                   C                C G F
 International competition in a year.
F                      G            Am               Am G Em
 She was a good enough reason for a party...
Em                         F                Am       Am G Em
 well, you couldn't keep up on a hard track mile
Em         Dm            G
 while she ran a perfect circle.
C               G       F   Gsus4   G F
 And she wore a perfect smile
 G      Am Am11 Am7 Am         F        G   Am Am11 Am7 Am
 in Budapest...            hot night in Budapest.

Verse 2:
                 F         G      Am                  Am G Em
 We had to cozz’ up in the old gymnasium...
Em               F                             Am     Am G Em
 dusting off the mandolins and checking on the gear.
Em                          Dm                        Dm F G
 She was helping out at the back-stage...
G                             C                       C G F
 stopping hearts and chilling beer.
F             G               Am                      Am G Em
 Yes, and her legs went on forever.
Em              F          Am                         Am G Em
 Like staring up at infinity
Em         Dm             G
 through a wisp of cotton panty
C                G     F   Gsus4    G F
 along a skin of satin sea.
 G      Am Am11 Am7 Am         F        G   Am Am11 Am7 Am      F G Em
                           hot night in Budapest.


Bridge:
Em                 C             G             Am      F       G
 You could cut the heat, peel it back with the wrong side of a knife.
Em                        C
 Feel it blowing from the sidefills.
     G             F                C
Feel like you were playing for your life
           Dsus4
if not the money.   Hey Hey Hey
          Am Am11 Am7 Am          F        G   Am Am11 Am7 Am
                              hot night in Budapest.

Verse 3:
          F       G        Am                         Am G Em
 She bent down to fill the ice box
Em                F                    Am             Am G Em
 and stuffed some more warm white wine in
Em                         Dm                         Dm F G
 like some weird unearthly vision
G                                C                    C G F
 wearing only T-shirt, pants and skin.
F                      G              Am              Am G Em
 You know, it rippled, just a hint of muscle.
Em                F               Am                  Am G Em
 But the boys and me were heading west
Em     Dm              G
 so we left her to the late crew
C                   G   F   Gsus4    G F
 and a hot night in Budapest.
 G       Am Am11 Am7 Am                 F        G   Am Am11 Am7 Am   F G Em
                           It was a hot night in Budapest.

Bridge:
Em                     C
 She didn't speak much English language...
G                      Am F  G
 she didn't speak much anyway.
     Em                                C
 She wouldn't make love, but she could make good sandwich
G                     F              C
 and she poured sweet wine before we played.
          Am Am11 Am7 Am          F        G   Am Am11 Am7 Am
                              hot night in Budapest.

Verse 4:
             F              G          Am              Am G Em
 I thought I saw her at the late night restaurant.
Em                        F                Am          Am G Em
 She would have sent blue shivers down the wall.
Em                        Dm                           Dm F G
 But she didn't grace our table.
G                             C                        C G F
 In fact, she wasn't there at all.
F             G               Am                       Am G Em
 Yes, and her legs went on forever.
Em              F          Am                          Am G Em
 Like staring up at infinity.
Em             Dm              G
 Her heart was spinning to the west-lands
C               G       F   Gsus4 G
 and she didn't care to be
     F        G   Am Am11 Am7 Am      F        G   Am Am11 Am7 Am
that night in Budapest.           Hot night in Budapest
