[Intro]
Dm7 G/A Dm7 G/A
[Verse 1]
It was a hDm7ot and sultry daG/Ay sDm7omewhere in early SepG/Atember
I don't haDm7rdly remember the dayG/A
Just the Dm7way the sun beaG/At down upon the bayDm7, babyG/A
[Verse 2]
I Dm7did not even need to knoG/Aw your name
It was, Dm7oh, so plain to seeG/A that you had eyes Dm7for me G/A
Dm7Halfway open, halfway closed, hG/Aalf-naked eyes for meDm7, baby G/A
[Chorus]
It was a Dm7slow burning love,G/A a fair-weather loveDm7 affair G/A
A slDm7ow burning, smoldering loveG/A for you and I
And like the Dm7sun on the edge of the WesterG/An sky, it dieDm7d G/A
[Bridge]
Oh, the Cmaj9lights of the city were close at hand
I Dm7might just as well have been another man
You Bbmaj9might just as well have been another girl
It mDmaj9ight just as well have been another world
[Chorus]
It was a Dm7slow burning love,G/A a fair-weather loveDm7 affair G/A
A slDm7ow burning, smoldering loveG/A for you and I
And like the Dm7sun on the edge of the WesterG/An sky, it dieDm7d G/A
Oh, sDm7low burning loveG/A Dm7 G/A
You wereDm7 smoking up tG/Ahat day, some kDm7ind of hoG/At
It was a Dm7slow burning love,G/A a fair-weather loveDm7 affair G/A
A slDm7ow burning, smoldering loveG/A for you and I
And like the Dm7sun on the edge of the WesterG/An sky, it dieDm7d G/A
