Verse 1
E
Am
If you've ever been or lived in
the city (summertime in the city)
Then you'll know what I'm
goin' to talk about
Oh, little petty badies tryin' to sleep
Well, oh, I'm a- tryna keep
them out of the heat
Just tryna trap it, yes,
blockin' up the street
Well, the jukebox playin' a funky beat
(have you ever been there?)
Verse 2
Am
Dm
Am
(Shall we use the fuel in
her wonder or wait?)
You need a big swell to make
it through the day
Selfied in the street, well,
but nobody cares
Everybody, rush in, well,
but it ain't goin' nowhere
(Oh, man, and you look into the bond,
Dm
Am

I been workin' like a hell, well,
I ain't gettin' no pay

Verse 4
the stock went down, yeah
Billed and bought a new car, yeah,
he's just a- ridin' around
Well, the street lady walkin'
'round and 'round
Tryin' to make a dollar, yeah,
while the Sun is down
A whole shit gut, she'll seat
around and she can mate
Second little girl- girl- girl,
huh, I'm wishin' she was dead
Verse 5
Oh, well- well,
well- well (in the city)

in the city
Verse 6
tryin' to make a fair, yeah
He's feelin' like a demon well,
well- well, and girl, he know well
(In the city) the telephone bell fell down,
he started to cry, Lord
Whoa, no, I just a- sittin' around,
round- round in the city lights
The Sun is so hot, well,
it's burnin' up the street
The things are so bad, so- so bad,
How did you like the song?
