Gene Watson - Love In The Hot Afternoon

E

E                
From somewhere outside, I hear a
  A           E                E
Street vendor cry "filé gumbo"
           E
From my window I see him, going
A           E
Down the street and he don't know

        E             C#m
That we fell right to sleep
       E              C#m      E
In the damp tangled sheets so soon
       E          B         E
After love in the hot afternoon
        B
Now the bourbon street lady,
A             E 
Sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(In the shadows)
    B              A            E
She was new to me, full of mystery, 
But now I know (but know I know)


      E            C#m
That she's just a girl, 
    E          C#m         E
And I'm just a guy, in a room
    E           B          E   D E D E
For love in the hot afternoon

       E
We got high in the park, 
       A            E
This morning and we sat, without talkin'
         E
Then she came back here, 
       A           E
In the heat of the day, tired of walkin'
                C#m
Where under her breath, 
    E             C#m    E
She hummed to herself a tune
   E           B        E
Of Love in the hot afternoon
