Dm
You get a shiver in the dark
C Bb A7(x02223)
It's raining in the park, but meantime
Dm C Bb A7
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 all right when you hear that music ring
Dm C Bb A7
Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Dm C Bb A7
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
F C
Competition, too many other places
Bb Dm Bb C
But the horns, they're blowing that sound
Bb C Dm Bb C Dm Bb C
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
You check out Guitar George
he knows all them fancy chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
It is an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets under the lights to play his thing
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
He can play honky tonk like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans, with the Sultans of Swing
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their baggies and their best king's road
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans, yeah the sultans, they played Creole. Creole.
(instrumental part - play like the normal verse.)
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'
and he makes it fast with one more thing
'We are the Sultans, we are the sultans of Swing'
(fade away)
