[Intro] Dm
[Primeira Parte]
Dm
You get a shiver in the dark
C Bb
It's raining in the park
A Dm
But meantime
South of the river
C Bb A
You stop and you hold everything
F
A band is blowin' Dixie
C Bb
Double four time
You feel alright
Dm Bb C
When you hear that music ring
[Segunda Parte]
Dm
And now you step inside
C Bb A Dm
But you don't see too many faces
C
Comin' in out of the rain
Bb A
You hear the jazz go down
F C Bb
Competition in other places
Oh, but the horns
Dm Bb C
They blowin' that sound
Bb C
Way on down south
Dm Bb C
Way on down south London town
( Dm Bb C )
[Terceira Parte]
Dm C Bb
You check out guitar, George
A Dm
He knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm
C Bb A
He doesn't wanna make it cry or sing
F C
Yes, and an old guitar is all
Bb
He can afford
When he gets up under the lights
Dm Bb C
To play his thing
[Quarta Parte]
Dm C
And Harry doesn't mind
Bb A Dm
If he doesn't make the scene
C
He's got a daytime job
Bb A
He's doin' alright
F
He can play the Honk Tonk
C Bb
Like anything
Dm Bb C
Savin' it up for Friday night
Bb C
With the Sultans
Dm Bb C
With the Sultans of Swing
( Dm Bb C )
[Quinta Parte]
Dm
And a crowd of young boys
C Bb
They're fooling around
A Dm
In the corner
C
Drunk and dressed in their best brown
Bb A
Baggies and their platform soles
F
They don't give a damn
C Bb
About any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call
Dm Bb C
Rock and roll
Bb C
And the Sultans
Dm Bb C
Yeah, the Sultans played Creole
( Dm Bb C )
[Solo] Dm C Bb A
Dm C Bb A
F C Bb
Dm Bb C Bb C
Dm Bb C
Dm Bb C
[Sexta Parte]
Dm
And then the man
C Bb A Dm
He steps right up to the microphone
C
And says: At last
Bb A
Just as the time bell rings
F
Goodnight
C Bb
Now it's time to go home
And he makes it fast
Dm Bb C
With one more thing
Bb C
We are the Sultans
Dm Bb C
We are the Sultans of Swing
[Final] Dm Bb C
