Sultans of Swing
{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]

{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
