Summer In The City Chords
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]
Dm | A# (repeat)
[verse 1:]
Dm Dm/C G/B A# A
Hot town, summer in the city; back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Dm Dm/C G/B A# A
Been down, isn't it a pity; doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
A A7
All around, people looking half dead
Dm D
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/joe_cocker/summer_in_the_city_crd.html ]
[chorus:]
G C
But at night it's a different world
G C
Go out and find a girl
G C
Come-on come-on and dance all night
G C
Despite the heat it'll be alright
Em A
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
Em A
That the days can't be like the nights
Em A
In the summer, in the city
Em A
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
