Bananarama
Cruel Summer
Bananarama (1984)

C♯m             B        A                  g♯
    c♯ g♯ b c♯  d♯ b c♯    c♯ g♯ b c♯  f♯ e d♯  x 4

C♯m                B       A                B/G♯
Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
  C♯m        B  A  B/G♯
I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy
And dry

Strange voices are saying - what did they say
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort, this heat has got
             A B  A B
Right out of hand

         C♯m           A     B      A
  It's a cruel (cruel) cruel summer
  Leaving me here on my own
  It's a cruel (cruel) cruel summer
  Now you've gone                                (reste B)

(mélodie)  x 2

The city is crowded, my friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle so I got
              A B  A B
To get up and go

  Refrain + You're not the only one

  Refrain (leaving me)

c♯ b c♯!  a  a g♯ A B  A B

C♯m  A  B  A  x 4

  Refrain + You're not the only one              (un peu creux)

  Refrain (leaving me)  x 2

...fade out
