Oh, so good.
[Dm]
[C] [Dm]
[Am] [D]
Yeah, you [Dm] got a shiver in the [C] dark,
[Bb] Raining in the [A] pond,
Meantime.
[Dm] Sound the [C] river, you're stumping [Bb] your own,
[A] Everything.
[F] My band is Chloe Dixie,
[C] Double four, now.
[Bb] Feel alright, when you hear the [Dm] music,
When
[Bb] [C]
[Dm] I step inside,
[C] But you don't [Bb] see too [A] many fakes.
[Dm] Coming [C] out of rain,
[Bb] They hear the [A] jazz go down.
[F] Competition, [C] you know the blazing.
[Bb] Yeah, but the horns,
The blowing, [Dm] that sound blowing.
[Bb]
[C] Way on down [Bb] south,
[C] Way on down [D] south,
London town.
[Bb]
[G] [C]
[Dm] [Bb]
[C]
[Dm] Check out guitar [C] George,
[Bb] [A] He knows all the chords.
[Dm] Strict rhythm, he [C] doesn't wanna make [Bb] it cry [A] hard.
They
[F] say the new [C] guitarist,
Oh, he can't afford.
[Bb] When he gets up on the lights,
They [D] hear his name.
[Dm]
[Bb] [C]
[D] And [C] Harry doesn't [Bb] mind,
If [A] he doesn't play the scene.
[Dm] He's got a [C] daytime job,
[Bb] He's [A] doing alright.
[F] He can play the honky [C]-tonk, Like anything.
And he's waving
[Bb] [Gm] it up,
[Dm] Friday night.
[Bb] [C] With the
[Gm] sultans,
[C] With the [Dm] sultans on the swing.

[Dm] Says at last, [Bb] it's just a [A] time-bound rain.
[F] Thank you.
[C] Now it's time to go home.
[Bb] [Gm] And he makes it fast,
But one [Dm] more thing,
[Bb] [C] We are the [Bb] sultans,
[C] We are the sultans [Dm] on the swing.
