SULTANS OF SWING
INTRO: Dm
Dm C Bes A7
You get a shiver in the dark, It's been raining in the park but meantime
Dm C Bes A7
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
F C
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
Bes Dm
You feel all right when you hear that music ring
(Bes////-C)
And 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
With but the horns they're blowin' that sound
Way on down south, way on down south London town
(Bes////-C)
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 just an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
(Bes////-C)
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 honky tonk like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
Bes////- C Bes////- C Dm
With the Sultans.......... with the Sultans of Swing
B / C / Dm
B / C / Dm
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 ain't what they call rock and roll
Bes////- C Bes////- C Dm
And the Sultans,.......... yeah the Sultans played Creole (Creole)
B / C / Dm
B / C / Dm
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
"Goodnight now it's time to go home"
Then he makes it fast with one more thing
Bes////- C Bes////- C Dm
"We are the Sultans,........... we are the Sultans of Swing."
B / C / Dm
B / C / Dm
