Pre> 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 "its not the way of the order. Dm c dm "oh stay in your homes, please leave us alone Gm dm "well 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 rubbles 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 weve 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...... /pre>
