Sultans Of Swing chords
Dire Straits *

Dm C C Dm C C

     Dm
You get a shiver in the dark
     C       Bb    A
It's been raining in the park but meantime
Dm           C      Bb    A
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
F               C
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
Bb                     Dm  Bb/C
You feel all right when you hear that music ring

  Dm         C     Bb    A
You step inside but you don't see too many faces
Dm          C        Bb   A
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
F                  C
Too much competition too many other places
Bb                  Dm Bb/C
But not too many horns can make that sound
       Bb/C         Dm     C Bb C Dm C Bb C
Way on down south way on down south London town

       Dm      C/Bb   A
You check out guitar George he knows all the chords
Dm            C         Bb   A
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
F          C        Bb
And an old guitar is all he can afford
                       Dm Bb/C
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

  Dm      C    Bb     A
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
Dm     C    Bb        A
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
F                C
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Bb           Dm Bb/C
Saving it up for Friday night
        Bb/C         Dm C Bb C Dm C Bb C
With the sultans with the sultans of swing

   Dm             C    Bb      A
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Dm             C     Bb        A
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
F                C
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
Bb                Dm Bb/C
It ain't what they call rock and roll
       Bb/C   Dm C Bb C Dm C Bb C
And the sultans played Creole

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