          Dm                      C              Bb       A7      
You get a shiver in the dark 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 doublefour time
Bb                                        Dm   Bb
You feel alright when you hear that music ring  
C              Dm                  C         Bb       A     A7
 Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces  
Dm                                            A7     
  Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down


[Chorus]
F                      C     
 Competition in other places
Bb                                    Dm    Bb
  Ah but the horns they blowing that sound  
C        Bb         C
 Way on down south 
                  Dm         
Way on down south London town

[Verse]
          Dm                C          A7            
You check out Guitar George  he knows all the chords
Dm                           C               Bb      A7         
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
F         F7               C7               
 Yes and an old guitar is all he can afford
Bb                                              Dm    Bb C
  When he gets up under the lights to play his thing   
Dm                   C    Bb               A          A7   
  And Harry doesn't mind   if he doesn't  make the scene
Dm                                A       A7
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright  


[Chorus]
F                                C       
 He can play the honkytonk like anything
Bb                         Dm   
  Saving it up for Friday night
Bb C          Bb      C7
   With the Sultans  
C          C7      C  Dm   
 With the Sultans of Swing

[Verse]
      Dm                          C                     A7    
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Dm                                 C             Bb        A7            
  Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
F                                  C                  
 They don't give a damn about any trumpetplaying band
Bb                                  Dm  
  It ain't what they call rock and roll
Bb C         Bb     
   And the Sultans
C                              Dm    
 Yeah the Sultans they played creole

[Verse]
Dm                         C                     A7        
Creole And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
Dm                                        A7   
  And says at last just as the time bell rings
F                    C              
 Goodnight now it's time to go home
Bb                                     Dm   
  Then he makes it fast with one more thing
Bb C            Bb      C
   We are the Sultans 
                      Dm   
We are the Sultans of Swing
