Judy Collins - In The Heat Of The Summer CAPO: 1st Fret {Intro] Am G Am G Am G Am G Am [Verse 1]

In the ^Gheat of the ^Amsummer ^CWhen the pavements were ^Eburning The ^Amsoul of a ^Gcity was ^Eravaged in the ^Amnight After the ^Gcity sun was ^Amsetting ^G ^Am ^G ^Am

[Verse 2]

Now no one ^Gknows how it ^Amstarted ^Cwhy the windows were ^Eshattered But ^Amdeep in the ^Gdark, ^Esomeone set the ^Amspark And then it ^Gno longer ^Ammattered ^G ^Am ^G ^Am

[Verse 3]

Down the ^Gstreets they were ^Amrumbling ^CAll the tempers were ^Eraging Oh, ^Amwhere, oh, ^Gwhere are the ^Ewhite silver ^Amtongues Who forgot to ^Glisten to the ^Amwarnings? ^G ^Am ^G ^Am

[Verse 4]

On and ^Gon come the ^Amangry ^CNo longer following ^Ereason And ^Amall the ^Gstores ^Ewere the target ^Amnow Where just the other ^Gday they were ^Ambuying ^G ^Am ^G ^Am

[Verse 5]

Drunk with the ^Gmemory of the ^Amghetto ^CDrunk with the lure of the ^Elooting And the^Am memory of the ^Guniforms ^Eshoving with their ^Amsticks Asking, "Are you ^Glooking for ^Amtrouble?"^G ^Am ^G ^Am

[Verse 6]

"No, no, ^Gno," moaned the ^Ammayor ^C"It's not the way of ^Ethe order "Oh ^Amstay in your^G homes, please ^Eleave us a^Amlone "We'll be glad to ^Gtalk in the ^Ammorning" ^G ^Am ^G ^Am

[Verse 7]

"For shame, for ^Gshame," wrote the ^Ampapers ^C"Why the hurry to your ^Ehunger? "^AmNow the rubble's ^Gresting ^Eon your broken ^Amstreets "So you see what your ^Grage has un^Amravelled"^G ^Am ^G ^Am

[Verse 8]

Barricades ^Gsadly were ^Amrising ^CBricks were heavily ^Eflying And the ^Amloudspeaker ^Gdrowned like a ^Ewhispering ^Amsound when compared to the ^Gangered e^Ammotions ^G ^Am ^G ^Am

[Verse 9]

And when the ^Gfury was ^Amover ^CAnd the shame was replacing the ^Eanger So ^Amwrong, so ^Gwrong, but ^Ewe've been down so ^Amlong And we had to ^Gmake somebody ^Amlisten In the ^Gheat of the ^Amsummer ^G ^Am ^G ^Am
