F7        Bb7          Eb  Bb
In the heat of the night
   F7
Seems like a cold sweat
         Bb           Bb7
Creeping cross my brow, oh yes
               Eb7       Ab7
In the heat of the night
                         Gm     G7
I'm a-feelin' motherless somehow
           C7         F7
Stars with evil eyes stare from the sky, all me and right
Bb7       Eb7             Bb7
(In the heat of the night)
             Eb7          Ab7
Ain't a woman here before
                      Gm          G7
Knows how to make the morning come
                C7
So hard to keep control
                     F7                       Bb7
Well I guess I could sell my soul for just a little light
        Eb7         F7
(In the heat of the night)


[Verse 2]
    Eb7         Bb7     Eb7  Bb
In the heat of the night
         F7               Bb
I've got trouble wall to wall
            Bb7
Oh yes I have
Eb7                  Ab7
I repeat in the night
                 Gm        G7
Must be an ending to us all
                     C7
Oh Lord, it won't be long
      F7
Yes, just you be strong
                 Bb
And it'll be all right
        Eb7               Bb7
(In the heat of the night)
       F7          Bb7
In the heat of the night
