Lyrics of a song Phil Ochs - In The Heat Of The Summer

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......
