[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]

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.

[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.

 Well I said;

The heart, heart,
C       G
 Of the city,

 Heart, heart,
C       G
 Of the city,
G
 Heart, heart,
C   G
 Oh yeah.
