[Dm]
You can't shiver in the [C] dark if [Bb] you're raining on the park [A] mean time.
[Am] [Dm]
Down on the [C] river and stumbling [Bb] your whole [A]
cavity.
[F]
A band of stolen dixies, [C] juggled ball time.
[Bb]
You feel alright when you hear the new [Dm] things ring.
[Bb]
[C] [Gm] But I [Dm] step inside, [C] but you [Bb] don't see through [A] that face of yours.
[Dm]
Coming in [C] out of the rain [Bb] and hear the [A] jazz go down.
[F]
Some fishing, you know [C] my place.
[Bb]
How about the harm people and [Dm] their sound?
[Bb]
[C] Way on [Bb] down south,
[C] way on down [D] south from there [C] south.
[Bb] [F]
[C] [Dm]
[Bb] [C]
[Dm] You take out guitar, [C] jaw, [Bb] beat [A] notes, all the chords.
[Dm]
Man is strictly [C] with them, he [Bb] doesn't want to make them [A] cry or sing.
[Bbm] [Bb] [F]
If there's no [C] guitarist at all, he can't fall.
[Bb]
When he gets up under the lights to play [Dm] his thing.
[Bb]
[C] [Dm]
And Harry [C] does his [Bb] mind, if he [A]
doesn't make it seem.
[Gm] [Dm]
He's about to change [C] things up, [Bb] he's doing [A]
alright.
[Dm] [F]
He can play the whole song [C] like anything.
[Bb]
Slipping it up Friday [Gm]
[Dm] night [Bb]
[C] with the [Bb] sunken
[C] little soul.
[Dm]
[C] [Bb] [C]
[Dm]
[C] [Bb] [C]
And [Bb] a crowd of young [C] boys, they're [Bb] fooling around [A] in the corner.
[Bb] [Dm]
And you can tell [C] that that brown [Bb] bag is in that [A]
platform.
So, [F]
you don't give a damn about [C] that dixie trumpet playing band.
[Bb]
It ain't what they call rock and [Dm] roll.
[Bb]
[C] Then something [Bb]
[C] gets up [Dm] and they feel.
[C] [Bb] [C]

And then the man [C] [Bb] gets right up to [A] the microphone.
[Dm]
[C] Says that last [Bb] piece is a [A] time valve thing.
[G] [F]
For a night, [C] now time to go home.
[Bb]
But he makes it fast, one more [Dm] thing.
[Bb]
[C] We are the [Bb] south hands,
[C] we are the south hands [Dm] of freedom.
