[Verse 1]
F G Am Am G Em
I think she was a middle-distance runner...
Em F Am Am G Em
the translation wasn't clear.
Em Dm Dm F G
Could be a budding stately hero.
G C C G F
International competition in a year.
F G Am Am G Em
She was a good enough reason for a party...
Em F Am Am G Em
well, you couldn't keep up on a hard track mile
Em Dm G
while she ran a perfect circle.
C G F Gsus4 G F
And she wore a perfect smile
G Am Am11 Am7 Am F G Am Am11 Am7 Am
in Budapest... hot night in Budapest.
[Verse 2]
F G Am Am G Em
We had to cozz’ up in the old gymnasium...
Em F Am Am G Em
dusting off the mandolins and checking on the gear.
Em Dm Dm F G
She was helping out at the back-stage...
G C C G F
stopping hearts and chilling beer.
F G Am Am G Em
Yes, and her legs went on forever.
Em F Am Am G Em
Like staring up at infinity
Em Dm G
through a wisp of cotton panty
C G F Gsus4 G F
along a skin of satin sea.
G Am Am11 Am7 Am F G Am Am11 Am7 Am F G Em
hot night in Budapest.
[Bridge]
Em C G Am F G
You could cut the heat, peel it back with the wrong side of a knife.
Em C
Feel it blowing from the sidefills.
G F C
Feel like you were playing for your life
Dsus4
if not the money. Hey Hey Hey
Am Am11 Am7 Am F G Am Am11 Am7 Am
hot night in Budapest.
[Verse 3]
F G Am Am G Em
She bent down to fill the ice box
Em F Am Am G Em
and stuffed some more warm white wine in
Em Dm Dm F G
like some weird unearthly vision
G C C G F
wearing only T-shirt, pants and skin.
F G Am Am G Em
You know, it rippled, just a hint of muscle.
Em F Am Am G Em
But the boys and me were heading west
Em Dm G
so we left her to the late crew
C G F Gsus4 G F
and a hot night in Budapest.
G Am Am11 Am7 Am F G Am Am11 Am7 Am F G Em
It was a hot night in Budapest.
[Bridge]
Em C
She didn't speak much English language...
G Am F G
she didn't speak much anyway.
Em C
She wouldn't make love, but she could make good sandwich
G F C
and she poured sweet wine before we played.
Am Am11 Am7 Am F G Am Am11 Am7 Am
hot night in Budapest.
[Verse 4]
F G Am Am G Em
I thought I saw her at the late night restaurant.
Em F Am Am G Em
She would have sent blue shivers down the wall.
Em Dm Dm F G
But she didn't grace our table.
G C C G F
In fact, she wasn't there at all.
F G Am Am G Em
Yes, and her legs went on forever.
Em F Am Am G Em
Like staring up at infinity.
Em Dm G
Her heart was spinning to the west-lands
C G F Gsus4 G
and she didn't care to be
F G Am Am11 Am7 Am F G Am Am11 Am7 Am
that night in Budapest. Hot night in Budapest
