Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing: Guitar Chords

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

               Dm                  C         A#       A
Well now, you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Dm                    C                A#      A
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
F                      C
Competition in other places
A#                                   Dm
Uh, but the horns they blowin' that sound
A# C
way on down south
A# C
way on down south
Dm
London Town

Check out guitar George
He knows all the chords
Mind, it's strictly rhythm
He doesn't want to make it cry or sing
Yes and an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job – he's doing alright
He can play the Honky Tonk like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans
With the Sultans of Swing

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 any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call Rock and Roll
And the Sultans
Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole
Creole

And then the man
He steps right up to the microphone
And says at last
Just as the time bell rings
"Goodnight, now it's time to go home"
Then he makes it fast
With one more thing
"We are the Sultans –
We are the Sultans of Swing"
