Start Jamming...
[Dm]
[G] You get a shiver in [C] the dark, raining [A] in the park, but meantime
[Am]
[Dm] South of the river, you're talking to a boat, everything
[A]
[F] Bellies blowing, dixie, [C] double four-ton
You [Bb] feel alright when you hear the [Dm] music ring
And [Bb] [C] [Dm] now you step inside, but you don't see [A] too many faces
[Dm] Coming in all the rain to hear the jazz go [A] down
It's [B] [F]
competition [C] in other places, [Bb]
a bloody haunt [D] with blowing dance sound
[Bb] [C]
Way on [Bb] down south, [C] way on down south [Dm] London town
[Bb] [C] [G] [Dm]
[Bb] [C] You [Dm] check out Guitar [Bb] George, he [A] knows all [D] the chords
[Dm] Might flick a rhythm, he doesn't want to make it [A] quiet or sing
[F]
He's playing an old guitar, [C] he's old, he can't afford one
[Bb]
When he gets up under the lights, play [D] it, [C]
[Dm] and Harry doesn't mind
If [A] he doesn't make [D] the scene, [Dm] he's got a daytime job
[A] Stewie, now I'm a record, [F] hell he can play the horn, he don't [C] like anything
[Bb] Saving it up for [Dm] Friday night, [C] we're the Sultan's
We're the Sultan's off-swing
[Bb] In [C]
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
[C] [Dm] the crowd of young boys, they're fooling [Am] around in the corner
[A] [Dm] Drunk and dressed in the best room, biggest on the [A] platform, so
[F] They don't give a damn about [C] any trumpets [E] playing then
[Bb] And it ends with what they call a rock [Dm] and roll
[Bb] [C] And the Sultan's, and the Sultan's [Dm] play the Creole
[Bb] [C]
[Dm] [Bb]
[C] [D] [A]

[A] [G] [C]

[Dm] [Bb] [C]
[Dm] And then the man steps right up [A] to the microphone
[Dm] And says, well, at last, this is the [A] time I'll ring
[F] Tonight, [C] now it's time to go home
[Bb] Well, the next day, he says, one [Dm] more thing
[Bb] [C] We are the [Bb] Sultan's,
[C] we are the [Dm] Sultan's off-swing
