_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ You get a shiver in the dark, [C] it's raining [Bb] in the [A] park of mean time.
_ _ [Em] _ _ [Dm] _ Sound of the river, [C] you're stopping your [Bb] whole [A] everything. _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
A band is flowing, Dixie, [C] double ball time.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ You feel alright when you hear the [Dm] music play. _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] When I step _ [C] inside, but you don't [Bb] see too [A] many faces.
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
Coming in [C] out of the rain, [Bb] you hear the [A] jazz go down. _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ Competition in all [C] the places. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
But the horns, they blowing [Dm] that sound.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _
Way on [Bb] down south, _ _ [C] _
way on down south, [Dm] London [Bb] town.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] Check out Guitar [C] George, _ [Bb] [A] he knows all the chords.
_ _ [Dm] _ Mind his [C] strictly rhythm, he doesn't [Bb] want to make us [A] cry or sing.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
Pretending no guitar [C] is on, he can't fall.
[Bb] _ _ _ When he gets up under the lights, play [Dm] it plain. _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [Dm] And Harry [C] doesn't mind [Bb] if he [A] _ doesn't make the scene.
_ _ [Dm] He's got a day [C] to find something, [Bb] he's doing [A] alright. _
_ _ _ _ [F] He _ can play the horn, talk [C] like anything.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
Saving it up, Friday [G] night.
[Dm] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _

_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] Then he caught a young boy, [C] he started [Bb] fooling around [A] in his corner.
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ Drunk and dressed [C] in that fast brown [Bb] baggie and [A] that platform sole.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
He don't give a damn about [C] any trumpet playing band.
_ [Bb] _ _
It ain't what they call [Dm] rock and roll.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _
And the salt [Bb] tins, _ _ [C] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] And then the man [C] gets right [Bb] up near [A] the microphone.
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
And says at [C] [Bb] last, just as the [A] time bell rings.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ Goodnight, _ now [C] it's time to go home.
_ [Bb] _ _
Then he makes it fast with one more [Dm] thing.
