Sultans Of Swing

[Intro]  
[Dm] [C] [C] [Dm] [C] [C]  

[Verse 1]  
[Dm]  
You get a shiver in the dark  
[C]              [A#]       [A]  
It's been raining in the park but meantime  
[Dm]                     [C]            [A#]        [A]  
South of the river you stop and you hold everything  
[F]                              [C]  
A band is blowing Dixie double four time  
[A#]                                          [Dm]   [Bb / C]  
You feel all right when you hear that music ring  

[Verse 2]  
[Dm]                  [C]         [A#]       [A]  
You step inside but you don't see too many faces  
[Dm]                   [C]                [A#]      [A]  
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down  
[F]                                   [C]  
Too much competition too many other places  
[A#]                                   [Dm]   [Bb / C]  
But not too many horns can make that sound  
             [Bb / C]                   [Dm]         [C] [A#] [C]  [Dm] [C]   
Way on down south   way on down south London town  
[A#] [C]  

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

[Verse 4]  
[Dm]            [C]       [A#]         [A]  
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene  
[Dm]         [C]       [A#]               [A]  
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright  
[F]                                [C]  
He can play honky tonk just like anything  
[A#]                      [Dm]  [Bb / C]  
Saving it up for Friday night  
               [Bb / C]                    [Dm]  [C] [A#] [C]  [Dm] [C] [A#] [C]  
With the sultans     with the sultans of swing  

[Verse 5]  
[Dm]                          [C]        [A#]           [A]  
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner  
[Dm]                         [C]          [A#]                
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their  
[A]  
platform soles  
[F]                                [C]  
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band  
[A#]                               [Dm]  [Bb / C]  
It ain't what they call rock and roll  
              [Bb / C]      [Dm]  [C] [A#] [C]  [Dm] [C] [A#] [C]  
And the sultans    played Creole  

[Verse 6]  
[Dm]                  [C]           [A#]        [A]  
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone  
[Dm]          [C]                [A#]        [A]   [A7]  
And says at last just as the time bell rings  
          [F]                  [C]  
thank you goodnight now it's time to go home  
       [A#]                          [Dm]   [Bb / C]  
And he makes it fast with one more thing  
                      [Dm]  [C] [A#] [C]  [Dm] [C] [A#] [C]  
we are the sultans of swing  

[Outro]  
[Dm]  [C] [A#] [C]  [Dm] [C] [A#] [C]  x7
