Dm
You get a shiver in the dark,
C Bb A
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 four time
Bb Dm Bb C
You feel alright when you hear that music ring
Dm C Bb A
Well now, you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Dm C Bb A
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
F C
Competition in other places
Bb Dm
Uh, but the horns they blowin' that sound
Bb C
way on down south
Bb C
way on down south
Dm

You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords
Dm
Mind he's strictly rhythm
C Bb A
he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
F C
They say 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
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
Dm C Bb A
He's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright
F C
He can play the honky tonk like anything
Bb Dm Bb C
Saving it up for Friday night
Bb C
with the Sultans
Dm
with the Sultans of Swing

Dm C
Then a crowd of young boys, they're foolin'
Bb A
around in the corner
Dm C
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies
Bb A
and their platform soles
F C
They don't give a damn about about any trumpet playin' band
Bb Dm Bb C
It ain't what they call rock and roll
Bb C
and the Sultans
Dm
Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole

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