Intro : Am - G - Am Am - G - Am

Am G F E

1. You get a shiver in the dark, it's raining in the park but meantime,

Am G F E

south of the river you stop and you hold everything.

C G

A band is blowing Dixie double four time,

F Am - F-G

you feel alright when you hear that music ring.

Am G F E

2. Well, now you step inside, but you don't see too many faces,

Am G F E

coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down.

C G

Too much competition, too many other places,

F Am

but not too many horns can blow that sound.

F-G F-G Am F-G-Am-F-G

Way on down south, way on down south London Town.

Am G F E

3. You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords,

Am G F E

mind he's strictly rhythm, he doesn't want to make it cry or sing.

C G

This and an old guitar is all he can afford,

F Am - F-G

when he gets up under the lights to play his thing.

Am G F E

4. And Harry doesn't mind, if he doesn't make the scene.

Am G F E

he's got a daytime job, he's doing alright.

C G F Am

He can play honkytonk like anything, saving it up for Friday night,

F-G F-G Am

with the Sultans, with the Sultans of Swing.
