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......
