Dm
  You get a shiver in the dark

        C              Bb           A7(x02223)
  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 double four time

Bb                                            Dm            Bb  C
  You feel all right when you hear that music ring



                Dm                  C         Bb           A7
  Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces

Dm                      C                Bb        A7
  Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down

F                              C
  Competition, too many other places

Bb                                    Dm            Bb  C
  But the horns, they're blowing that sound



                   Bb C                 Dm          Bb      C             Dm       Bb      C
  Way on downsouth    way on downsouth London town




  You check out Guitar George
  he knows all them fancy chords
  Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
  It is an old guitar is all he can afford
  When he gets 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 honky tonk 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 baggies and their best king's road
  They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
  It ain't what they call rock and roll

  And the Sultans, yeah the sultans, they played Creole.  Creole.

  (instrumental part - play like the normal verse.)

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