...TOO HOT... by The Specials
-------------................
*from 'The Specials' (1979)*
Intro:
C F G (x4)
Verse 1:
C G
Too hot; this town is too hot, (too hot, too hot),
Now they're callin' for their guns,
about to spoil the rude boys funs,
But rude boys never give up their guns;
C
It's too hot, (too hot, too hot),
G
No man, can tell them what to do, (too hot, too hot),
C
Pound for pound, they say; they're ruder than you, (too hot, too hot).
Verse 2:
G
They are boss and no back down, you might have a couple you like,
Choose your burial site, take insurance, make up your will,
C
Come out and tell them, (fight them, fight them).
Solo:
C, G, C
Verse 3:
C
The soldiers, came back to you.
G
With-out them the police force are afraid;
C
They can't even touch them, (too hot, too hot).
G
They say; "you think you're bad? Why don't you come out yourself?"
These boys are calling for a fight, fighting tonight, they don't lie;
C
It's too hot, (too hot, too hot), too hot, too hot.
Coda: (Increase Tempo)
G
Too hot, too hot, too hot, too hot,
C
Too hot, too hot, too hot!
