Chords - v1
Sultans Of Swing
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 fourtime
Bb Dm (Bb C)
You feel alright when you hear that music ring
Well now, you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places Dm
but the horns, they’re blowin that sound
Bb C Bb - C Dm
way on down south way on down south London Town
Interlude: Dm C Bb C x2
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 doin' alright
He can play the honky tonk like anything
Saving it up for Friday night.
with the Sultans, with the Sultans of Swing
Interlude: Dm C Bb C x2
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 about any trumpet playin' band
It ain't what they call rock and roll
and the Sultans Yeah, the Sultans, they played Creole
Interlude: Dm C Bb C x2
Verse jam + Interlude
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell ring
Goodnight, now it's time to go home
Then he makes it fast with one more thing
We are the Sultans We are the Sultans of Swing
Interlude x8
