[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][C]
[Am][C][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Screen door cracked, with the [C]ball game on
[F]Man on the porch singin' [C]baritone
[Am]Tan line leads to [C]that gentle place
Between [F]her collarbone
and her [C]stone-cold face

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][F][C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Dockhand boys all [C]say goodbye
To the [F]women that they swear
are gonna [C]be their wives
[Am]They'll be gone by the [C]wintertime
And [F]they don't wanna bother
with [C]no friend of mine

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Wet, [G]hot, A[F]merican [C]nights
[C]Shake your body [F]dry
under [G]coastline [Am]light
[Am]Wet, [G]hot, A[F]merican [C]nights
We snuck our [C]Fords to the [F]shore
and drank a [G]bottle [Am]bone- dry
We snuck our [F]Fords to the [Am]shore
and drank a [G]bottle [C]bone- dry

[Interlude 2]
[Am][C][F][C]
[Am][C][F][C]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Davey got back from [C]his first tour
He [F]ain't the same boy that he [C]was before
[Am]20's too young to near[C]ly die
A[F]merican boys are a [C]friend of mine
[Am][C][F][C]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Del co Danny cut a d[C]eal with the dealer
That he [F]met out at the Rivers Ca[C]si no
He got [Am]caught countin' cards,
then them [C]spades broke his heart
Then the [F]Point Breeze boys
broke [C]his nose
Heard [Am]Mary got that job
that she want[C]ed out of town
She was [F]better than the sum
of all of [C]us, anyhow
She [Am]still stops by whenev[C]er she can
She's [F]tougher than my brother
with a [C]balled left hand

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Wet, [G]hot, A[F]merican [C]nights
[C]Shake your body [F]off
under [G]coastline [Am]light
[Am]Wet, [G]hot, A[F]merican [C]nights
We snuck our [C]Fords to the [F]shore
and drank a [G]bottle [Am]bone- dry
We snuck our [F]Fords to the [Am]shore
and drank a [G]bottle [C]bone- dry

[Interlude 3]

[Am]Screen door cracked, with the [C]ball game on
[F]Man on the porch singin' [C]baritone

Between [F]her collarbone
and her [C]stone-cold face
