I ain't stopping fingers keep bopping 

F#m b e 

Swing band rocking from the street to the bar 

C#m 

West coast's dated music's overrated 

F#m a b 

Here it on the radio in every car 

Chorus 

E a b d e d b a 

The heat in harlem the heat in harlem, yep 

E a b d b 

The heat in harlem the heat in harlem 

A b 

And the heat of the soul

Ring that number hear that timbre 

Watch my senses go right out the door 

Born on the pavement that's where it happens 

Rocking the apartment on the fifteenth floor 

Chorus 

Bridge 

F#m a e 

And when the heat burns your feet, got to jump to save your skin 

F#m a 

And when you jump the water pump 

B f#m 

The water just rushes away in the burning heat 

A e f#m a b 

Ooh yep, save your skin, uuh

We've been screaming, screaming through a jukebox 

Screaming at someone that don't even care 

Born on the pavement that's where it happens 

Feel like fire in the midnight air 

Chorus twice 

Slow bridge em a em a em (alternaties like this with sometimes a em taking over) 

A em a em dm em dm em 

Look at the heat wave got everybody, got everybody under it's spell 

Sit back and wonder stand or go under, or feel the thunder starting to swell 

The heat in harlem, the heat in harlem the heat in harlem punches then rolls 

No big decision no aircondition the heat in harlem is the heat of the soul 

Mamma is crying daddy is trying brother is working for everything you own 

Sister is dreaming, dreaming of broadway around the corner a million miles from home 

The heat in harlem the heat in harlem the heat in harlem punches then rolls 

No big decision no aircondition the heat in harlem is the heat of the soul 

The heat of the soul the heat of the soul the heat of the soul the heat of the soul 

Down in the heatwave, yeah down down in the heatwave down in the heatwave, yeah 

Down in the heat, heat, yeah watch the moon come down in the heat down in harlem town 

Watch it all come down in the heat down in harlem town 

The heat of the soul the heat of the soul 

Watch it all come down in the heat down in harlem town 

Watch the moon come down in the heat down in harlem town 

Down in the heatwave, yeah down in the heatwave, yeah 

Take it down in the heat heat yeah the heat of the soul

Down in the heat heat yeah down in the heat heat yeah
