(single snare beat) Dm / C-C / Dm / C-C Intro lead You get a shiver in the dark it`s raining in the park but meantime south of the river you stop and you hold everything a band is blowing Dixie double four time Bb Dm Bb-C you feel alright when you hear that music ring

(Now) you step inside but you don`t see too many faces coming in out of the rain to (you) hear the jazz go down too much competition too many other places but not too many horns can make that sound Bb-C way on downsouth Bb-C way on downsouth Dm Dm-C-Bb-C Dm-C-Bb-C London town

you check out Guitar George he knows all the chords mind he`s (his) strictly rhythm he doesn`t want to make it cry or sing and an old guitar is all he can afford Bb Dm Bb-C when he gets up under the lights to play his thing (and) harry doesnb`t mind if he doesn`t make the scene he(`s) got a daytime job he`s doing al(l)right he can play honky tone just like anything Bb Dm Bb-C saving it up for friday night Bb-C with the sultans Dm Dm-C-Bb-C with the sultans of swing Dm-C-Bb-C

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 (`bout) any trumpet playing band Bb Dm Bb-C it ain`t what they call rock and roll Bb-C and the sultans Dm Dm-C-Bb-C and the sultans played creole

and then the man he steps right up to the microphone and says at last just as the time bell rings thank you goodnight now it`s time to go home Bb Dm Bb-C and he makes it fast with one more thing Bb-C we are the sultans Dm Dm-C-Bb-C we are the sultans of swing

Dm - C - Bb - C
