Capo I

[Verse]
       G#                 C#  G#
In the heart of the city,
          G#               C#  G#
Where the alligators roam,
      G#                C#  G#
I'm a little lost when,
      G#                  C#  G#
Ain't got no place to go.
      G#                    C#  G#
Now I ain't got one minute,
           G#              C#  G#
Just gotta sit on my back,
       G#               C#  G#
I left home in a hurry,
         G#
'Til I'm never going back.


[Chorus]
    D#
I'm looking for a home,
       C#            G#
In the heart of the city.


[Interlude]
G#  C#  G#


[Verse]
        G#                      C#  G#
Now I'm stepping on the street,
        G#                    C#  G#
And I'm stepping up the hill,
        G#                   C#  G#
And I'm looking for a lover,
         G#                  C#  G#
Looking, looking everywhere.
          G#                 C#  G#
Maybe I'm in with a chance?
       G#              C#  G#
I hear clickety clack.
       G#            C#  G#
It's a girl my lord,
            G#\      G#\
I see her stop, check
        C#      G#
Turning double fast.


[Chorus]
    D#
I'm looking for a lover,
       C#            G#
In the heart of the city.


[Interlude]
G#  C#  G#


[Chorus 2]
    D#
I'm looking, I'm looking,
I'm looking, I'm looking,
I'm looking, looking,
Looking, looking,
Looking everywhere,
       C#            G#
In the heart of the city.


[Interlude]
G#  C#  G#


[Verse]
            G#                 C#  G#
Well in the heart of the city,
          G#                 C#  G#
Well it's part of the stars.
            G#              C#  G#
I hear that cassette music,
     G#                C#  G#
On a thousand guitars.
         G#                     C#  G#
Hey, the boys are on the prowl,
        G#                 C#  G#
They're checking out meat.
            G#                C#  G#
They know a bird in the hand,
         G#                 C#  G#
Is worth two on the street.


[Chorus 3]
        D#
They're checking the meat,
       C#            G#
In the heart of the city.


[Interlude]

[Outro]
G#
 Well I said;
    G#
The heart, heart,
C#       G#
 Of the city,
G#
 Heart, heart,
C#   G#
 Oh yeah.
G#
 Heart, heart,
C#       G#
 Of the city,
G#
 Heart, heart,
C#   G#
 Oh yeah.
