Dm Dm
you get a shiver in the dark
C C A# A# A A
it's raining in the park but meantime
Dm Dm C C A# A# A A
south of the river you stop and you hold everything
F F C C
a band is blowing Dixie double four time
A# A# Dm Dm A# A# C C
you feel alright when you hear that music ring

Dm Dm C C A# A# A A
you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Dm Dm C C A# A# A A
coming in out of the rain to (you) hear the jazz go down
F F C C
too much competition in other places
A# A# Dm Dm
but not too many horns can make that sound
(But not too many horns are blowing that sound)
A# A# C C
way on downsouth
A# A# C C
way on downsouth
Dm Dm Dm Dm C C A# A# C C Dm Dm C C A# A# C C
London town

Dm Dm C C A# A# A A
you check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Dm Dm C C A# A#
mind he's (his) strictly rhythm he doesn't want to
A A
make it cry or sing
F F C C
and an old guitar is all he can afford
A# A# Dm Dm A# A# C C
when he gets up under the lights to play his thing
Dm Dm C C A# A# A A
(and) harry doesnb't mind if he doesn't make the scene
Dm Dm C C A# A# A A
he('s) got a daytime job he's doing al(l)right
F F C C
he can play honky tone just like anything
(He can play the honky tonk like anything)

A# A# Dm Dm A# A# C C
saving it up for friday night
A# A# C C
with the sultans
Dm Dm Dm Dm C C A# A# C C
with the sultans of swing
Dm Dm C C A# A# C C

Dm Dm C C A# A# A A
and a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Dm Dm C C A# A#
drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and
A A
their platform soles
F F C C
they don't give a damn about ('bout) any trumpet playing band
A# A# Dm Dm A# A# C C
it ain't what they call rock and roll
A# A# C C
and the sultans
Dm Dm Dm Dm C C A# A# C C
and the sultans played creole
(Yeah the Sultans they played Creole)

Dm Dm C C A# A# C C

Dm Dm C C A# A# A A
and then the man he steps right up to the microphone
Dm Dm C C A# A# A A (A7 A7)
and says at last just as the time bell rings
F F C C
thank you goodnight now it's time to go home
A# A# Dm Dm A# A# C C
and he makes it fast with one more thing
A# A# C C
we are the sultans
Dm Dm Dm Dm C C A# A# C C
we are the sultans of swing
