{Intro} [Dm]

{Verse 1} [ Dm C Bb A] You get a shiver in the dark, it's raining in the park but meantime [Dm C Bb A]   South of the river you stop and you hold everything [F C]   A band is blowing Dixie double four time [Bb Dm Bb - C]    You feel alright when you hear that music ring

{Verse 2}               [Dm C Bb A] Well now, you step inside but you don't see too many faces [Dm C Bb A]    Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down [F C]   Competition in other places [Bb Dm]    Uh, but the horns they blowin' that sound [Bb - C]         way on down south [Bb - C]         way on down south [Dm] London Town

{Verse 3} [ Dm C Bb A] You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords [Dm C Bb A]   Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing [F C]   They say an old guitar is all he can afford [Bb Dm Bb - C]    When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

{Verse 4} [Dm C Bb A]    And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene [Dm C Bb A]   He's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright [F C]   He can play the honky tonk like anything [Bb Dm Bb - C]    Saving it up for Friday night                   [Bb - C] with the Sultans                     [Dm] with the Sultans of Swing

{Verse 5}        [Dm C Bb A] Then a crowd of young boys, they're foolin' around in the corner [Dm C Bb A]    Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles [F C]   They don't give a damn about about any trumpet playin' band [Bb Dm Bb - C]    It ain't what they call rock and roll                 [Bb - C] and the Sultans                         [Dm] Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole

{Verse 6} [Dm C Bb A]    And then the man he steps right up to the microphone [Dm C Bb A (A7)]    And says at last just as the time bell ring [F C]   Goodnight, now it's time to go home [Bb Dm Bb - C]    Then he makes it fast with one more thing                    [Bb - C] We are the Sultans                       [Dm] We are the Sultans of Swing
