It’s been raining in the park but meantime

South of the river

A band is blowing Dixie double four time
Bb
Dm
Bb
C
You feel all right when you hear that music ring
Dm
Well now you step inside
C
Bb
A
but you don’t see too many faces
Dm
C
Coming in out of the rain
Bb
A
to hear the jazz go down
F
C
Competition in other places
Bb
Dm
Uh but the horns they blowin’ that sound
Bb

Way on down south

You check out Guitar George

he knows all the chords
Dm
Mind he’s strictly rhythm
C
Bb
A
he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing
F
C
They said an old guitar is all, he can afford
Bb
Dm
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
Bb

And a crowd of young boys
C
Bb
A
they’re fooling around in the corner
Dm
Drunk and dressed in their best
C
Bb
A
brown baggies and their platform soles
F
They don’t give a damn
C
about any trumpet playing band

Dm
It ain’t what they call rock and roll
Bb

And the Sultans
Bb

Dm
Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole

he steps right up to the microphone

And says at last
Bb
A
just as the time bell rings
F
C
“Goodnight, now it’s time to go home”
Bb
Dm
and he makes it fast with one more thing
Bb

‘We are the Sultans

‘We are the Sultans of Swing’
