REm              DO          SIb      LA
you get a shiver in the dark it's raining in the park but meantime

REm              DO        SIb    LA
south of the river you stop and you hold everything

FA                   DO
a band is blowing Dixie double four time

SIb                       REm    SIb-Do
you feel alright when you hear that music ring

 

REm             DO         SIb   LA
you step inside but you don't see too many faces

REm             DO         SIb     LA
coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down

FA                  DO
too much competition too many other places

SIb                      REm
but not too many horns can make that sound

REm                           DO        SIb    LA

FA                      DO
and an old guitar is all he can afford

SIb                      REm     SIb-Do
when he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And  harry doesnb't mind if he doesn't make the scene

REm           DO         SIb    LA

SIb                      REm    SIb-Do
saving it up for friday night

SIb-Do
with the sultans

REm            REm-Do-Sib-Do       REm-Do-Sib-Do
with the sultans of swing

REm            DO       SIb      LA
and a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner

REm                                 DO        SIb      LA
drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

FA                  DO
they don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band

SIb                 REm   SIb-Do
it ain't what they call rock and roll

SIb-Do
and the sultans

REm           REm-Do-Sib-Do          REm-Do-Sib-Do
and the sultans played creole

REm            DO        SIb      LA
and then the man he steps right up to the microphone

REm              DO         SIb     LA
and says at last just as the time bell rings

FA                  DO
thank you goodnight now it's time to go home

SIb                      REm    SIb-Do
and he makes it fast with one more thing

SIb-Do
we are the sultans

REm            REm-Do-Sib-Do     REm-Do-Sib-Do
we are the sultans of swing
