Verse 1
(E minor) (D major)
Streets are almost empty,
shops are all closed down
There's (F sharp minor) not a soul left in the
bar to tell my troubles to
Think I'll (B minor) walk down to the river
that runs just south of town
I (G major) hate like hell when there
ain't nothin' left to do
But (D major) stand beneath the (A major) river bridge
and (B minor) listen (G major) for the train (D major) (G major)
It's (B minor) been a long hot summer, (G major)
(A major) not a drop (D major) of rain
Verse 2
Well, I broke down in December,
I headed for the coast
I (F sharp minor) thought the wind and water
would elevate my mind
I (B minor) sur faced in the springtime
feelin' like a ghost
(G major) Missin' more than ever
the things I left behind
Now I'm (D major) standin' on this (A major) ri
verbank and (B minor) still cannot (G major) explain
It's (B minor) been a long hot summer, (G major)
(A major) not a drop of (D major) rain

Verse 3
My bag is full of letters, unopened (D major)
and unread
I'm (F sharp minor) sure they'd tell the
story of worry and of form
My (B minor) heart is beating heavy
with all we left unsaid
And I (G major) swear to you I never
meant you any harm
This (D major) sacrifice and (A major) compromise
could (B minor) nev er stand (G major) the strain
It's (B minor) been a long hot summer,
(A major) not a drop (D major) of rain
Verse 4
Tonight I'll close my eyes again, (D major)
try to see your face
(F sharp minor) Listen for your voice to tell me
it's alright to sleep
Con (B minor) vince myself I'll wake up in
another time and place
(G major) Knowin' all the while
that it's a promise I can't keep
A (D major) string of broken (A major) promises,
an (B minor) other (G major) link of chain
It's (B minor) been a long hot summer,
(A major) not a drop of (D major) rain
Verse 5
The children on the playground, (D major)
the lovers in the shade
Re (F sharp minor) mind me of a life and time
that feels more like a dream
When the (B minor) sound of love and laughter
was the music that we played
As we (G major) lay beside the waters of
a never ending stream
Now the (D major) stream has gone to (A major) hiding,
the (B minor) dream lives (G major) on in vain
It's (B minor) been a long hot summer,
(A major) not a drop (D major) of rain (E minor)
(D major)
Verse 6
(D major) The clouds are building slowly
on the skyline to the east
The (F sharp minor) wind and dust are dancing
like the devil across the lake
I could (B minor) try to find a bottle
or try to find a priest
Sal (G major) vation won't be traveling
either road I take
So I (D major) turn my collar (A major) to the wind that
(B minor) echoes (G major) this refrain
It's (B minor) been a long hot summer, (G major)
(A major) not a drop (D major) of rain
