[INTRO]

[Dm7] [G/A] [Dm7] [G/A]

[VERSE 1]

It was a h[Dm7]ot and sultry da[G/A]y s[Dm7]omewhere in early Sep[G/A]tember
I don't ha[Dm7]rdly remember the day[G/A]
Just the [Dm7]way the sun bea[G/A]t down upon the bay[Dm7] , baby[G/A]

[VERSE 2]

I [Dm7]did not even need to kno[G/A]w your name
It was, [Dm7]oh, so plain to see[G/A] that you had eyes [Dm7]for me [G/A]
[Dm7]Halfway open, halfway closed, h[G/A]alf-naked eyes for me[Dm7] , baby [G/A]

[CHORUS]

It was a [Dm7]slow burning love,[G/A] a fair-weather love[Dm7] affair [G/A]
A sl[Dm7]ow burning, smoldering love[G/A] for you and I
And like the [Dm7]sun on the edge of the Wester[G/A]n sky, it die[Dm7]d [G/A]

[BRIDGE]
Oh, the [Cmaj9]lights of the city were close at hand
I [Dm7]might just as well have been another man
You [Bbmaj9]might just as well have been another girl
It m[Dmaj9]ight just as well have been another world

[CHORUS]

It was a [Dm7]slow burning love,[G/A] a fair-weather love[Dm7] affair [G/A]
A sl[Dm7]ow burning, smoldering love[G/A] for you and I
And like the [Dm7]sun on the edge of the Wester[G/A]n sky, it die[Dm7]d [G/A]
Oh, s[Dm7]low burning love[G/A] [Dm7] [G/A]
You were[Dm7] smoking up t[G/A]hat day, some k[Dm7]ind of ho[G/A]t
It was a [Dm7]slow burning love,[G/A] a fair-weather love[Dm7] affair [G/A]
A sl[Dm7]ow burning, smoldering love[G/A] for you and I
And like the [Dm7]sun on the edge of the Wester[G/A]n sky, it die[Dm7]d [G/A]

[OUTRO]
