CHORUS:

 Am                   Dm           Am

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,

 F           G                 Am

Ain't no love in the heart of town.

 Am                    Dm           Am

Ain't no love, and it sure 'nuff a pity,

 F           Dm                Am  

Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

 

      Am          C            F

When you were mine, oh, I was feelin' so good.

G                              Am

'Cause your love lit up this whole neighborhood

C                                     F

But now that you're gone, ya know the sun don't shine,

G                         F         C

Another chick I found, in my lonely room.

 

CHORUS:

 

INSTRUMENTAL HALF-VERSE:  [then:]

But now that you're gone, ya know the sun don't shine,

From the City Hall to the county line, that's why I said:

 

CHORUS:  [2x]
