[Verse 1]

          Dm7             G/A   Dm7                  G/A
It was a hot and sultry day    somewhere in early September
          Dm7                  G/A
I don't hardly remember the day
         Dm7            G/A                Dm7   G/A
Just the way the sun beat down upon the bay, baby

[Verse 2]

  Dm7                     G/A
I did not even need to know your name
        Dm7                G/A                Dm7      G/A
It was, oh, so plain to see that you had eyes for me
Dm7                            G/A                  Dm7     G/A
Halfway open, halfway closed, half-naked eyes for me, baby

[Chorus]

         Dm7               G/A                 Dm7      G/A
It was a slow burning love, a fair-weather love affair
    Dm7                        G/A
A slow burning, smoldering love for you and I
             Dm7                          G/A          Dm7  G/A
And like the sun on the edge of the Western sky, it died

[Bridge]
        Cmaj9
Oh, the lights of the city were close at hand
  Dm7
I might just as well have been another man
    Bbmaj9
You might just as well have been another girl
    Dmaj9
It might just as well have been another world

[Chorus]

         Dm7               G/A                 Dm7      G/A
It was a slow burning love, a fair-weather love affair
    Dm7                        G/A
A slow burning, smoldering love for you and I
             Dm7                          G/A          Dm7  G/A
And like the sun on the edge of the Western sky, it died
     Dm7             G/A  Dm7 G/A
Oh, slow burning love
        Dm7          G/A            Dm7      G/A
You were smoking up that day, some kind of hot
         Dm7               G/A                 Dm7      G/A
It was a slow burning love, a fair-weather love affair
    Dm7                        G/A
A slow burning, smoldering love for you and I
             Dm7                          G/A          Dm7  G/A
And like the sun on the edge of the Western sky, it died

[Outro]

Dm7  G/A
Dm7  G/A
Ah
Dm7  G/A
Ah
