[Dm]
You get a shiver in the [C] dark, it's [Bb] raining in the [A] park of mean time.
[Dm] South of the [C] river you stop [Bb] and you hold [A] everything.
[F] A band is blowing dixie, [C] double ball time.
[Bb] You feel alright, when you hear the music [Dm] ring.
[Bb]
[C]
[Dm] Now you step inside, [C] 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] but the arms, they're [Dm] blowing that sound.
[Bb]
[C] Way on [Gb] down south,
[C] way on down [Dm]
south, thunder in [Bb] town.

[C] You [Dm] check out guitar, [C] drums, [Bb] [A]
dinos, all the cars.
[Dm]
Man is strictly [C] with them, he [Bb] doesn't want to [A] make them cry or sing.
[F] Listening to old guitar [C]
is all he can afford.
[Bb]
When he gets up under the lights to [Dm] play his thing.
[Bb]
[C]
[Dm] And [C] Harry doesn't [Bb] mind, [A] if he doesn't make the scene.
[Dm]
He's got a day [C] time [Bb] job, he's [A] doing alright.
[F] He can play the horn, it don't [C] fag anything.
[Bb] Saving it up, Friday [Dm] night.
[Bb]
[C] With the [Bb] southerns, [C] with the [Dm] southerns off swing.
[Bb]
[C]
[Dm] [Bb]
[C]
[Dm] And a crowd of young boys, [C] they're [Bb] fooling around [A] in the corner.
[Dm] Young and dressed in [C] their fast brown [Bb] baggies and their [A] platform so.
[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] And the [Bb] southerns, [C] yeah the southerns, [Dm] they play Creole.
