Verse 1:

       A                 D  A
In the heart of the city,
          A               D  A
Where the alligators roam,
      A                D  A
I'm a little lost when,
      A                  D  A
Ain't got no place to go.

      A                    D  A
Now I ain't got one minute,
           A              D  A
Just gotta sit on my back,
       A               D  A
I left home in a hurry,
          A                D  A
'Till I'm never going back.

Chorus 1:

    E                          D            A
I'm looking for a home, in the heart of the city.

Verse 2:

        A                      D  A
Now I'm stepping on the street,
        A                    D  A
And I'm stepping up the hill,
        A                   D  A
And I'm looking for a lover,
         A                  D  A
Looking, looking everywhere.

          A                 D  A
Maybe I'm in with a chance?
       A              D  A
I hear clickety clack.
       A            D  A
It's a girl my lord,    I see her;

A (n.C)
 Stop,
A (n.C)
 Check,
        D      A
Turning double fast.

Chorus 2:

    E                           D            A
I'm looking for a lover, in the heart of the city.

A, D  A

Chorus 3:

    E
I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking,
I'm looking, looking, looking, looking,
                           D            A
Looking everywhere, in the heart of the city.

Interlude:

A, D  A

Verse 3:

             A                 D  A
Well, in the heart of the city,
           A                 D  A
Well, it's part of the stars.
            A              D  A
I hear that cassette music,
     A                D  A
On a thousand guitars.

         A                     D  A
Hey, the boys are on the prowl,
        A                 D  A
They're checking out meat.
            A                D  A
They know a bird in the hand,
         A                 D  A
Is worth two on the street.

Chorus 4:

        E                         D            A
They're checking the meat, in the heart of the city.

A, D  A

A
 Well, I said;

Coda:

    A             D      A
The heart, heart, of the city,
A              D  A
 Heart, heart, oh yeah.
A              D      A
 Heart, heart, of the city,
A              D  A
 Heart, heart, oh yeah.

(Fade)
