You get a shiver in the [C] dark, it's [Bb] raining in the [A] park, mean time. _
[Em] _ [Dm] Sound of the [F] river, you're stopping, [Bb] you're holding [A] everything. _ _
_ [F] A band is blowing, Dixie, [C] double ball time. _
[F] _ [Bb] You feel alright when you hear the [Dm] music, eh?
I [Bb] _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] like to step [C] inside, but you don't [Bb] see too [A] many faces.
_ _ _ [Dm] Coming in [C] out of the rain, you [Bb] hear the [A] jazz go down.
_ _ [F] _ _
Competition in all the [C] places.
_ _ _ [Bb] How about the harmony blowing [Dm] that sound?
_ _ [Bb] _ [C] Way [Bb] on down south, [C] way on down south, [Dm] London time.
[Bb] _
[F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [Bb] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] Check out guitar [C] John, [A] he knows all the chords.
_ [Dm] Life [C] is strictly [Bb] rhythm, he doesn't want to make a [A] cry or sing.
_ [F] _ If Dan and old [C] guitar is on, he can't fall.
[Bb] _ When he gets up under the lights, he's playing [Dm] his thing.
_ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Dm] And Harry [C] doesn't mind [Bb] if he [A] doesn't make a scene.
[Dm] He's got a day [C] time job, [Bb] he's doing [A] alright. _ _
_ [F] He can play the honk-tonk [C] like anything.
_ [Am] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Dm] Saturday night, _ _
[Bb] _ [C] _ with the [Bb] sultans, [C] _ where the salt turns [D] off the [Dm] swing.
[Bb] _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _
[Dm] Then the crowded young boys [C] get [Bb] fooling around [A] in the corner. _ _
_ [Dm] Some of them dressed [C] in their best brown [Bb] baggies and their [A] platform socks.
[F] _ They don't give a damn about [C] any trumpet playing band.
_ [Bb] It ain't what they call rock [Dm] and roll. _ _
[Bb] _ [C] _ Then the Sultan, [Bb] _ [C] _ yeah the Sultan [D] play [Am] Creole.
[Bb] _ _ [C] _ Creole.
_ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _

_ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Dm] Then the [C] man steps [Bb] right up [A] to the microphone. _
_ [Dm] To [C] save it last [Bb] just as the [A] time bell rings. _
_ [F] _ Good night, [C] now it's time to go home.
[Bb] Then he makes it fast, one [Dm] more thing. _ _
[Bb] _ [C] _ We are the [Bb] Sultans, [C] _ we are the [Dm] Sultans of Spain.
