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


[Chorus]
    B
I'm looking for a home,
       A            E
In the heart of the city.

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


[Chorus]
    B
I'm looking for a lover,
       A            E
In the heart of the city.


[Interlude]
E  A  E


[Chorus 2]
    B
I'm looking, I'm looking,
I'm looking, I'm looking,
I'm looking, looking,
Looking, looking,
Looking everywhere,
       A            E
In the heart of the city.

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


[Chorus 3]
        B
They're checking the meat,
       A            E
In the heart of the city.

 Well I said;
    E
The heart, heart,
A       E
 Of the city,
E
 Heart, heart,
A   E
 Oh yeah.
E
 Heart, heart,
A       E
 Of the city,
E
 Heart, heart,
A   E
 Oh yeah.
