Gene Watson - Love in the Hot Afternoon guitar chord

Love In The Hot Afternoon

By Gene Watson

E A E

From somewhere outside, I hear a street vendor cry "filet gumbo"

E A E

From my window I see him, going down the street and he don't know

E C#m E C#m E

That we fell right to sleep in the damp tangled sheets so soon

E B E

After love in the hot afternoon

B A E

Now the Bourbon street lady, sleeps like a baby in the shadows

B A E

She was new to me, full of mystery, but now I know

E C#m E C#m E

That she's just a girl, and I'm just a guy, in a room

E B E

For love in the hot afternoon

E A E

We got high in the park, this morning and we sat, without talkin'

E A E

Then she came back here, in the heat of the day, tired of walkin'

E C#m E C#m E

Where under her breath, she hummed to herself a tune

E B E

Of love in the hot afternoon
