^ echoed drums bass (note intentional G-Ab dissonance on the first beat):
Verse 1: [Notes: 1) I believe that the guitar is capoed at the third fret, in which case the chord progression transposes to the stock folkie riff Am-Am/G-D9/F#-Fmaj7-E. This is further confirmed by the voicings of the F and Bb chords in the chorus, which sound like root-position D and G capoed up. 2) The electric piano plays a variation of the second part of the instrumental break (q.v.) on the first four lines of the verse.]
Cm Cm/Bb Hot town, summer in the city F9/A [x03543] Abmaj7 G Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty

Cm C Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head Chorus (w/autoharp):
F Bb But at night it's a different world
F Bb Go out and find a girl

F Bb Despite the heat it'll be alright
Dm G And babe, don't you know it's a pity
Dm G That the days can't be like the nights
Dm G In the summer, in the city
Dm G In the summer, in the city 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 [repeat chorus] Instrumental break: guitar (doubled octave higher w/electric piano) w/sound effects
