(G major) (A minor)
Verse 1
In the (G major) heat of the sum (A minor) mer (G major) (C major)
When the pavements were (E major) burning
The soul (D minor) of a city (G major) was ravaged (E major)
in the night (A minor)
After the city (G major) sun was (A minor)
sinkin'
(G major) (A minor)

Verse 2
(G major)
(A minor) Now no one knows (G major) how
it started (A minor) (G major) (C major)
Why the windows were (E major) shattered
But (D minor) deep in the dark, (G major)
someone (E major) set the (A minor) spark
And then it no (G major) longer
(A minor) mattered.
(G major) (A minor)
Verse 3
(G major)
(A minor) Down the streets (G major) they were
(A minor) rumbling (G major) (C major)
All the tempers were ra (E major) gin'
Oh, (D minor) where, oh,
(G major) where are the (E major) white silver (A minor) tongues
Who forgot to (G major) listen to the warn (A minor) ings?
Verse 4
On and On come the angry (G major)
No longer following reason
And all the stores (A minor) (G major) were the target
now
Where just the other
(A minor) day they were buyin'
Verse 5
Drunk with the memory (G major) of
the ghetto (A minor) (G major) (C major)
Drunk with the lure of the (E major) looting
And the (D minor) memory of the uniforms (G major)
(E major) shoving with their (A minor) sticks
Asking, ";Are you (G major) looking for (A minor)
trouble?";
(G major) (A minor)
Verse 6
(G major) (A minor)
"No, no, (G major) no," moaned (A minor)
the may (G major) or. (C major)
"It's not the way of the order. (E major)
"Oh (D minor) stay in your (G major) homes,
please (E major) leave us alone (A minor)
"We'll be glad to talk (G major) in
the morn (A minor) ing."
(G major) (A minor)
Verse 7
(G major)
(A minor) "For shame,
for (G major) shame," wrote the pa (A minor) pers. (G major) (C major)
"Why the hurry to your (E major) hunger?
"Now (D minor) the rubble's resting (G major)
on your (E major) broken street (A minor) s
"So you see what your (G major) rage
has (A minor) unraveled."
Verse 8
(G major) Baricades sadly were risin'
Bricks were heavily flyin'
And (A minor) the loudspeaker drowned (G major) like
(A minor) a whisperin' sound
When compared to the angered emotions (G major)
(A minor) And when the fury
Verse 9
(G major) was (A minor) over (G major)
And the (C major) Shame was replacing the (E major) anger.
So (D minor) wrong, so (G major) wrong,
but we've (E major) been down so (A minor) long
And we had to make some (G major) body (A minor) listen
(G major) (A minor) (G major) (A minor) (G major) (A minor)
In the (G major) heat of (A minor) the sum
(G major) mer (A minor)
(G major) (A minor) (G major) (A minor)
In the Heat of the Summer
