            Dm

You get a shiver in the dark

           C              Bb       A       (Coiso 1)

It's been raining in the park but meantime

Dm                            C            Bb      A   (Coiso 2)

   South of the river you stop and you hold everything

 

F                                 C        (Coiso 3)

  A band is blowing Dixie double four time

Bb                                             Dm  (Coiso 4)

  You feel all right when you hear that music ring

 

(Riff 1) (Coiso 5)

 

      Dm                 C         Bb       A    (Coiso 6)

You step inside but you don't see too many faces

Dm                       C                Bb      A   (Coiso 7**)

   Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down

 

F                                       C    (Coiso 3)

  Too much competition too many other places

Bb                                       Dm   (Coiso 8) (Riff 1)

   But not too many horns can make that sound

                    (Riff 1)               Dm

Way on downsouth way       on downsouth London town

 

(Riff 2)

 

          Dm               C  Bb        A               (Coiso 9)

You check out Guitar George     he knows all the chords

                                                         (Coiso 10)

Dm                      C                        Bb       A

   Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing

                      (Coiso 11)

F                      C

  And an old guitar is all he can afford

Bb                                                Dm  (Coiso 12) (Riff 1) (Coiso 13)

   When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

 

Dm                    C   Bb           A               (Coiso 14)

   And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene

Dm                     C        Bb      A    (Cois 15)

   He's got a daytime job he's doing alright

F                                  C        (Coiso 3)

  He can play honky tonk just like anything

                                (Coiso 16)

Bb                               Dm        (Riff 1)

   Saving it up for Friday night

                (Riff 1)                     Dm

With the Sultans       with the Sultans of Swing

 

(Riff 2)

 

        Dm                         C        Bb           A     (Coiso 17)

Amd a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner

                                                            (Coiso 18)

Dm                             C          Bb                 A

   Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

F                                    C                  (Coiso 11)

  They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band

Bb                                   Dm  (Coiso 4)  (Riff 1)

   It ain't what they call rock and roll

               (Riff 1)                         Dm

And the Sultans        and the Sultans played Creole

 

(Riff 2)

 

(Solo 1) = Dm C Bb A (2x) F C Bb Dm Bb-C Bb-C

 

(Riff 2)

 

Dm                       C         Bb         A         (Coiso 19)

   And then the man he steps right up to the microphone

Dm              C                Bb        A    (Coiso 20)

   And says at last just as the time bell rings

F                                C         (Coiso 21)

  'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'

Bb                                      Dm  (Coiso 22)  (Riff 1)

   And he makes it fast with one more thing

                  (Riff 1)                        Dm

We are the Sultans        we are the Sultans of Swing
