Lyrics and Chords
Intro: Dm - x4 Verse 1: Dm You get a shiver in the dark, C A# A7 It's raining in the park, but meantime, Dm South of the river you stop C A# A7 And you hold ev'rything. F A band is blowing Dixie C Double four time, A# You feel alright when you Dm | A# | C Hear that music ring. Verse 2: Dm Well now, you step inside C A# A7 But you don't see too many faces Dm Comin' in out of the C A# A7 Rain to hear the jazz go down. F Competition, too many C Other places, A# Uh, but the horns, Dm | A# | C They blowin' that sound. Bridge: A# | C Way on down south, Csus4 C Dm -> Way on down south London Town. Dm | A# | C | Csus4 C - x2 Verse 3: Dm You check out Guitar George, C A# A7 He knows all the chords. Dm Mind he's strictly rhythm, C A# A7 He doesn't want to make it cry or sing. F They say an old guitar C Is all he can afford, A# When he gets up under the lights Dm | A# | C To play his thing. Verse 4: Dm And Harry doesn't C A# A7 Mind if he doesn't make the scene. Dm He's got a daytime C A# A7 Job, he's doin' alright. F He can play the honky-tonk C Like anything, A# Saving it up Dm | A# | C For Friday night Bridge: A# | C With the Sultans, Csus4 C Dm -> With the Sul - tans of Swing. Dm | A# | C | Csus4 C - x2 Verse 5: Dm And a crowd of young boys, C A# A7 They're foolin' around in the corner, Dm Drunk and dressed in their C A# A7 Best brown baggies and their platform soles. F They don't give a damn about any C Trumpet playin' band, A# It ain't what they call Dm | A# | C Rock and roll. Bridge: A# | C And the Sultans, Csus4 C Dm -> Yeah, the Sul - tans, they play Creole.
