[Intro 1]
[Am](You knew we had to
come back like this, right man)
It's too [Am]hot in New York, man

[Chorus 1]
It's too hot in New York, man
[Am]Three nights in Rio [E]De Janeiro[C]
with no [D]sounds of buses
[Am]No ambulance[E], no police sire[C]ns
to inter[D]rupt my silence
[Am]Mucho trabajo,[E] poquito dinero,[C]
means I [D]work hard and and have no (money)
[Am]Playin' my guitar, [E]I'm sitting on the beach
I'm [C]sippin' margaritas
as [D]the water splash my feet
It's [Am]too hot in New York, [E]I had to get away
So [C]here's a ticket,
meet me on [D]the beach under the shade

[Verse 1]
When I was [Am]young
they called me Robin [E]Hood
'Cause I stole from the [C]rich
and I gave to the [D]poor
Went back [Am]home,
mama whooped on my [E]ass
Said I'll be [C]damned if I let you live [D]like that
Meanwhile [Am]next door neighbor's [E]drunk man
Beatin' on his [C]wife while the kids were [D]watchin'
Later that [Am]day we was out on the p[E]orch
And fanta[C]size we was out of New [D]York,

[Chorus 2]
we woke up in
[Am]Three nights in Rio [E]De Janeiro[C]
with no [D]sounds of buses
[Am]No ambulance[E], no police sire[C]ns
to inter[D]rupt my silence
[Am]Mucho trabajo,[E] poquito dinero,[C]
means I [D]work hard and and have no (money)
[Am]Playin' my guitar, [E]I'm sitting on the beach
I'm [C]sippin' margaritas
as [D]the water splash my feet
It's [Am]too hot in New York, [E]I had to get away
So [C]here's a ticket,
meet me on [D]the beach under the shade

[Verse 2]
I'm in your [Am]hood
like your neighborhood [E]Spiderman
I'm in the [C]club 'fore I entered the [D]stadium
I bring the [Am]vibe like the days of the [E]Tribe
Before I had the [C]fame
I was servin' the [D]fries
So who better to [Am]know
about the nine-to- [E]five
Wakin' up at [C]five with the cold in my [D]eyes
Now my [Am]daddy, he can rest in [E]peace
From the belly of the [C]beast
to the sunniest [D]beach, let's go

[Chorus 3]
[Am]Three nights in Rio [E]De Janeiro[C]
with no [D]sounds of buses
[Am]No ambulance[E], no police sire[C]ns
to inter[D]rupt my silence
[Am]Mucho trabajo,[E] poquito dinero,[C]
means I [D]work hard and and have no (money)

[Verse 3]
[Am]Playin' my gui[E]tar,
used to [C]daydream at the [D]stars
[Am]Prayin' if I [E]ever make it,
[C]I'm gon' help my [D]family make it
[Am]From the streets of [E]Brooklyn,
to the [C]Jersey talent [D]show
[Am]I'ma stand on [E]stage
and play this [Am]guitar till I [D]fall

[Solo 1]
San[Am]tana, let [E]me get some help
[C][D]
San[Am]tana, let [E]me get some help
[C][D]
[Am][E][C][D]
[Am][E][Am]

[Bridge 1]
[Dm]This one goes [G]out for those
who [C]work for low in[F]come
Keep your [Bb]head up, 'cause if I [E]made it,

[Chorus 4]
you can make it too one day
[Am]Three nights in Rio [E]De Janeiro[C]
with no [D]sounds of buses
[Am]No ambulance[E], no police sire[C]ns
to inter[D]rupt my silence
[Am]Mucho trabajo,[E] poquito dinero,[C]
means I [D]work hard and and have no (money)
[Am]Playin' my guitar, [E]I'm sitting on the beach
I'm [C]sippin' margaritas
as [D]the water splash my feet
It's [Am]too hot in New York, [E]I had to get away
So [C]here's a ticket,
meet me on [D]the beach under the shade

[Bridge 2]
It's just too [Am]hot in New York, m[E]an
It's just too [C]hot in New York, [D]man
It's just too [Am]hot in New York, m[E]an
It's just too [C]hot, [D]yeah
It's just too [Am]hot in New York, m[E]an
It's just too [C]hot in New York, [D]man
It's just too [Am]hot in New York, m[E]an
It's just too [C]hot, [D]yeah

[C]Celia we'll always [D]love you
[Am]Guantana[E]mera,
[C]Clef with the Carlos San[D]tana
[Am]Guantana[E]mera,
[C]Celia we'll always [D]miss you
[Am]Guantana[E]mera,
[C]Clef with the Carlos San[D]tana
