Bm A G F#You get a shiver in the dark, it's raining in the park but meantime

Bm A G F# South of the river you stop and you hold everything

D A A band is blowing Dixie double four time

G Bm G A You feel alright when you hear that music ring

Bm A G F#Well now, you step inside but you don't see too many faces

Bm A G F# Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down

D A Competition in other places

G Bm Uh, but the horns they blowin' that sound

G A way on down south

G A way on down south

BmLondon Town

Bm A G F#You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords

Bm A G F# Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing

D A They say an old guitar is all he can afford

G Bm G A When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

Bm A G F# And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene

Bm A G F# He's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright

D A He can play the honky tonk like anything

Bm A G F#Then a crowd of young boys, they're foolin' around in the corner

Bm A G F# Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

D A They don't give a damn about about any trumpet playin' band

G Bm G A It ain't what they call rock and roll

G Aand the Sultans

BmYeah, the Sultans, they play Creole

Bm A G A... Creole

Bm A G F# And then the man he steps right up to the microphone

Bm A G F# F#7 And says at last just as the time bell ring
