Start Jamming...
[Dm]
You get a shiver in the dark, it's raining in the park, [A] in the meantime.
[Dm] Stopping the rhythm, stopping your hope, yeah.
[A]
[F] A band is growing thick, so [C] double pause.
[Bb] You feel alright when you hear the music [Dm] ring.
[C] [Dm] Well, you step inside, but you don't see too [A] many faces.
[Dm] Coming in out of the rain, you hear the [A] jazz go down.
[F]
Competition in [C] other places.
[Bb]
Oh, by the horn, they're blowing [Dm] that sound.
[C]
Way on down south, way on down south, [Dm] London town.
[Bb] [C] [Dm]
[Bb] [C] [Dm] Check out guitar George, he [A] knows all chords.
[Dm] But a trippy rhythm, he doesn't want to make [A] it cry or sing.
[F]
Sitting on guitar [C] is all he can afford,
[Bb] as he gets up on the lights in a [Dm] blanket thing.
[C]
[Dm] And Harry doesn't mind if [A] he doesn't make a scene.
[Dm] He's got a day time job, he's [A] doing alright.
[F] He can play the horn, it's on [C] like anything.
[Bb] Singin' it up for [Dm] Friday night.
[C] We're the Sultans, we're the [Dm] Sultans of the rain.

[Dm] and he says that last, just as the [A] time bell rings.
[F] Good night, [C] now it's time to go home.
[Bb] And he may say it fast, but one [Dm] more thing.
[C] We are the Sultans, we are the [Dm] Sultans of the rain.
