The Heat In Harlem
Graham Parker

C#m

I ain't stopping fingers keep bopping

F#m B E

Swing band rocking from the street to the bar

C#m

West Coast's dated music's overrated

F#m A B

Here it on the radio in every car


Chorus

E A B D E D B A

The heat in Harlem The heat in Harlem, yep

E A B D B

The heat in Harlem The heat in Harlem

A B

And the heat of the soul


Ring that number hear that timbre

Watch my senses go right out the door

Born on the pavement that's where it happens

Rocking the apartment on the fifteenth floor


Chorus


Bridge

F#m A E

And when the heat burns your feet, Got to jump to save your skin

F#m A

And when you jump the water pump

B F#m

The water just rushes away in the burning heat

A E F#m A B

Ooh yep, save your skin, Uuh


We've been screaming, screaming through a jukebox

Screaming at someone that don't even care

Born on the pavement that's where it happens

Feel like fire in the midnight air


Chorus twice


Slow bridge Em A Em A Em (alternaties like this with sometimes A Em taking over)

A Em A Em Dm Em Dm Em

Look at the heat wave got everybody, Got everybody under it's spell

Sit back and wonder stand or go under, Or feel the thunder starting to swell

The heat in Harlem, The heat in Harlem The heat in Harlem punches then rolls

No big decision no aircondition The heat in Harlem is the heat of the soul

Mamma is crying Daddy is trying Brother is working for everything you own

Sister is dreaming, dreaming of Broadway Around the corner a million miles from home


The heat in Harlem The heat in Harlem The heat in Harlem punches then rolls

No big decision no aircondition The heat in Harlem is the heat of the soul


The heat of the soul The heat of the soul The heat of the soul The heat of the soul

Down in the heatwave, yeah Down down in the heatwave Down in the heatwave, yeah

Down in the heat, heat, yeah Watch the moon come down in the heat down in Harlem town

Watch it all come down in the heat down in Harlem town

The heat of the soul The heat of the soul

Watch it all come down in the heat down in Harlem town

Watch the moon come down in the heat down in Harlem town

Down in the heatwave, yeah Down in the heatwave, yeah

Take it down in the heat heat yeah The heat of the soul

The heat of the soul


Down in the heat heat yeah Down in the heat heat yeah

The heat of the soul The heat of the soul

Down in the heat heat yeah Down in the heat heat uh uh

Down in the heat heat yeah Down in the heat heat yeah

Down in the heat heat uh uh Down in the heat heat yeah fades
