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


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


[Interlude]
D  G  D


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


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


[Interlude]
D  G  D


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


[Interlude]

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


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

The heart, heart,

 Heart, heart,
G       D
 Of the city,

 Heart, heart,
G   D
 Oh yeah.
