      DmDm
you get a shiver in the dark
     C majorC      Bb majorBb    A augmentedA
it's 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 band is blowing Dixie double four time
    Bb majorBb                 DmDm   Bb majorBb C majorC
you feel alright 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 (you) hear the jazz go down

FF            C majorC
too much competition too many other places
Bb majorBb                  DmDm
but not too many horns can make that sound

Bb majorBb C majorC
    way on downsouth
Bb majorBb C majorC              DmDm   DmDm Bb majorBb FF C majorC   DmDm Bb majorBb FF C majorC
    way on downsouth London Town

        DmDm     C majorC    Bb majorBb     A augmentedA
you check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
DmDm          C majorC       Bb majorBb       A augmentedA
mind he's (his) strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing

FF            C majorC
and an old guitar is all he can afford
Bb majorBb                     DmDm    Bb majorBb C majorC
when he gets up under the lights to play his thing

DmDm           C majorC   Bb majorBb     A augmentedA
 (and) harry doesnb'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 al(l)right

FF                C majorC
 he can play honky tone just like anything
Bb majorBb           DmDm
 saving it up for friday night

Bb majorBb C majorC
   with the sultans
Bb majorBb C majorC             DmDm    DmDm Bb majorBb FF C majorC   DmDm Bb majorBb FF C majorC
   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 ('bout) any trumpet playing band
  Bb majorBb              DmDm
it ain't what they call rock and roll
Bb majorBb C majorC
   and the sultans
Bb majorBb C majorC            DmDm   DmDm Bb majorBb FF C majorC   DmDm Bb majorBb FF 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 it's time to go home
    Bb majorBb         DmDm
and he makes it fast with one more thing
Bb majorBb C majorC
   we are the sultans
Bb majorBb C majorC           DmDm    DmDm Bb majorBb FF C majorC   DmDm Bb majorBb FF C majorC
   we are the sultans of swing

You get a shiver in the dark, it's raining in the park, but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A augmentedA band is blowing Dixie, double four time
You feel alright when you hear that music ring

You step inside, but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition, from other places
But not too many horns can make that sound

Way on downsouth, way on downsouth London town

You check out Guitar George; he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up 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 the honkytonk just 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 best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It aint what they call Rock and Roll

And the Sultans played Creole

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
'Thankyou, 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
