Intro: dm gm dm gm dm

Gm           dm
In the heat of the summer
F                         a
When the pavements were burning
Dm          c          dm
The soul of a city was ravaged in the night
Gm            dm
After the city sun was sinkin'


Dm            gm          dm
Now no one knows how it started
F                  a
Why the windows were shattered
Dm          c          dm
But deep in the dark, someone set the spark
Gm           dm
And then it no longer mattered.

Dm         gm                  dm
Down the streets they were rumbling
F                        a
All the tempers were ragin
Dm          c           dm
Oh, where, oh, where are the white silver tongues
Gm                 dm
Who forgot to listen to the warnings? 

Dm         gm           dm
On and on come the angry
F                   a
No longer following reason
Dm          c                  dm
And all the stores were the target now
Gm                  dm
Where just the other day they were buyin

Dm           gm           dm
Drunk with the memory of the ghetto
F                           a
Drunk with the lure of the looting
Dm                  c                 dm
And the memory of the uniforms shoving with their sticks
Gm            dm
Asking, "are you looking for trouble? "

Dm          gm                  dm
"no, no, no," moaned the mayor.
F                   a
"it's not the way of the order.
Dm         c                  dm
"oh stay in your homes, please leave us alone
Gm                dm
"we'll be glad to talk in the morning."

Dm            gm                 dm
"for shame, for shame," wrote the papers.
F                    a
"why the hurry to your hunger? 
Dm          c            dm
"now the rubble's resting on your broken streets
Gm                 dm
"so you see what your rage has unraveled."

Dm          gm            dm
Baricades sadly were risin
F                         a
Bricks were heavily flyin
Dm          c                   dm
And the loudspeaker drowned like a whisperin' sound
Gm           dm
When compared to the angered emotions

Dm          gm           dm
And when the fury was over
F                                  a
And the shame was replacing the anger.
Dm           c           dm
So wrong, so wrong, but we've been down so long
Gm                 dm
And we had to make somebody listen
Gm          dm           gm dm gm dm
In the heat of the summer......
