Dire Straits – Sultans Of Swing (Guitar)

          Dm                       C              Bb       A
You get a shiver in the dark, it's 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 alright when you hear that music ring

              Dm                  C         Bb        A
Well now, 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
  Competition in other places

Bb                                     Dm
   Uh, but the horns they blowin' that sound

Bb - C
        way on down south

Bb - C
        way on down south

Dm
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
  They say an old guitar is all he can afford

Bb                                                 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 doin' alright

F                                  C
  He can play the honky tonk like anything

Bb                               Dm    Bb - C
   Saving it up for Friday night

                  Bb - C
with the Sultans

                    Dm
with the Sultans of Swing

       Dm                           C        Bb           A
Then a crowd of young boys, they're foolin' 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 about any trumpet playin' band

Bb                                   Dm     Bb - C
   It ain't what they call rock and roll

                Bb - C
and the Sultans

                             Dm
Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole

Dm - C - Bb - C
...             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 ring

F                      C
  Goodnight, now it's time to go home

Bb                                       Dm     Bb - C
   Then he makes it fast with one more thing

                   Bb - C
We are the Sultans

                      Dm
We are the Sultans of Swing

Dm - C - Bb - C
(repeat and fade, approx x7)
