You get a shiver in the [C] dark, it's [Bb] raining in the [A] park,
but meantime,
_ [Em] oh, _
_ [Dm] _ South of the river, [C] you stop and [Bb] you hold [A] everything. _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ A band is throwing dixie, [C] double ball time. _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ You feel alright when you hear the [Dm] music play.
_ You feel [Bb] alright.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
The [G] lights [Dm] step inside, [C] but you don't [Bb] see too [A] many faces. _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ Coming in out of [C] the [Bb] rain, you hear the [A] jazz go down. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ Drunk teaching, you know [C] about places. _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ But the horns, they blow [Dm] in that sound.

[D] Check out guitar [C] John, _ [Bb] _
[A] he knows all the chords. _ _ _
[Dm] _ Money strictly [C] with him, he [Bb] doesn't want to make [A] a cry or sing. _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ If Danny knows guitar [C] is all, he can't fall.
_ [Bb] _
_ When he gets up under the lights, play [D] it, play it.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ And Harry [C] doesn't [Bb] mind if [A] he doesn't make the scene. _ _

[F] _ _ He can play the horn, he talk [C] like anything.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ Saving it up, [G] Friday [Dm] night, _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
