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

Dm | 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

Instrumental break
Chords as verse
Link to outro
F#m | B (repeat)
(Verse but up a tone)
