Hot Night

[verse 1]
      D   A
it’s a hot night
      D         A
and I don’t feel like sleepin
      D        A
I got too much commotion
       E        A
runnin round my mind

             D      A
some kind of second sight
          D          A
I see the meaning of everything
         D            A
with the fever of the free and easy
E      A
in the summertime


[chorus 1]

D                  A
ain’t nobody gonna give it to ya
E
you got to steal it
D                  A
ain’t nobody gonna live it for ya
              E
so you better feel it now


[verse 2]

       D   A
it’s a hot night
           D       A
I hear the dogs in the distance
           D         A
I hear the men comin down the street
E             A
pickin up the trash

                 D    A
it sounds like a fist fight
       D       A
like a squalid existence
            D             A
but they’re singin in the dawnin day
E           A
like nobody asked


[chorus 2]

D                  A
ain’t nobody gonna give it to ya
E
you got to steal it
D                  A
ain’t nobody gonna live it for ya
E
so you better feel it now


[verse 3]

       D   A
it’s a hot night
      D          A
and I don’t feel like sleepin
      D          A
lying next to my lover
          E        A
and I can hear his dreams

            D      A
I feel like rising bread
       D        A
like a hothouse flower
         D            A
like I’m drunk on whiskey sour
         E               A
down the street in New Orleans

[verse 4]

       D   A
it’s a hot night
      D          A
lying next to my lover
            D       A
and there’s nowhere tomorrow
       E       A
that I need to get

         D   A
so I say not quite
      D               A
don’t take this night away from me
  D               A       E    A
I don’t feel like sleepin yet
         D               A        E    A
I said I don’t feel like sleeping
       D               A          E    A
Said I don’t feel like sleeping
