Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits

You get a shiver in the dark, it's raining in the park but meantime

Dm South of the river you stop and you hold everything

F A band is blowing Dixie double four time

A# You feel alright when you hear that music ring

Well now, you step inside but you don't see too many faces

Dm Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down

F Competition in other places

A# Uh, but the horns they blowin' that sound

A# C way on down south

A# C way on down south

London Town

You check out Guitar George, A# he knows all the chords

Dm Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing

F They say an old guitar is all he can afford

A# When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

Dm And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene

Dm He's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright

F He can play the honky tonk like anything

A# Saving it up for Friday night

with the Sultans

with the Sultans of Swing

Then a crowd of young boys, they're foolin' around in the corner

Dm Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

F They don't give a damn about about any trumpet playin' band

A# It ain't what they call rock and roll

and the Sultans

Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole

Dm And then the man he steps right up to the microphone

Dm And says at last just as the time bell ring

F Goodnight, now it's time to go home

A# Then he makes it fast with one more thing

We are the Sultans

We are the Sultans of Swing
