Sultans Of Swing chords
Dire Straits *

DmDm C majorC C DmDm C majorC C

     DmDm
You get a shiver in the dark
     C majorC       Bb majorBb    A augmentedA
It's been raining in the park but meantime
DmDm           C majorC      Bb majorBb    A augmentedA
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
FF               C majorC
A augmentedA band is blowing Dixie double four time
Bb majorBb                     DmDm  Bb/CBb/C
You feel all right when you hear that music ring

  DmDm         C majorC     Bb majorBb    A augmentedA
You step inside but you don't see too many faces
DmDm          C majorC        Bb majorBb   A augmentedA
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
FF                  C majorC
Too much competition too many other places
Bb majorBb                  DmDm Bb/CBb/C
But not too many horns can make that sound
       Bb/CBb/C         DmDm     C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC
Way on down south way on down south London town

       DmDm      C/Bb   A augmentedA
You check out guitar George he knows all the chords
DmDm            C majorC         Bb majorBb   A augmentedA
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
FF          C majorC        Bb majorBb
And an old guitar is all he can afford
                       DmDm Bb/CBb/C
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

  DmDm      C majorC    Bb majorBb     A augmentedA
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
DmDm     C majorC    Bb majorBb        A augmentedA
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
FF                C majorC
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Bb majorBb           DmDm Bb/CBb/C
Saving it up for Friday night
        Bb/CBb/C         DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC
With the sultans with the sultans of swing

   DmDm             C majorC    Bb majorBb      A augmentedA
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
DmDm             C majorC     Bb majorBb        A augmentedA
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
FF                C majorC
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
Bb majorBb                DmDm Bb/CBb/C
It ain't what they call rock and roll
       Bb/CBb/C   DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC
And the sultans played Creole

DmDm         C majorC      Bb majorBb    A augmentedA
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
DmDm     C majorC        Bb majorBb    A augmentedA  A7A7
And says at last just as the time bell rings
     FF         C majorC
thank you goodnight now its time to go home
    Bb majorBb             DmDm  Bb/CBb/C
And he makes it fast with one more thing
           DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC
we are the sultans of swing
