you get a shiver in the dark
C A# A
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#
you feel alright when you hear that music ring
Dm C A# A
you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Dm C A# A
coming in out of the rain to (you) hear the jazz go down
F C
too much competition too many other places
A# Dm
but not too many horns can make that sound
(But not too many horns are blowing that sound)
A#
way on downsouth
A#

Dm
London town
Dm C A# A

Dm C A#

A
make it cry or sing
F C
and an old guitar is all he can afford
A# Dm A#
when he gets up under the lights to play his thing
Dm C A# A

A# Dm A#
saving it up for friday night
A#
with the sultans
Dm
with the sultans of swing
Dm
Dm C A# A
and a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Dm C A#
drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and
A
their platform soles
F C
they don't give a damn about ('bout) any trumpet playing band
A# Dm A#
it ain't what they call rock and roll
A#
and the sultans
Dm
and the sultans played creole
(Yeah the Sultans they played Creole)
Dm
Dm C A# A
and then the man he steps right up to the microphone
Dm C A# A
and says at last just as the time bell rings
F C
thank you goodnight now it's time to go home
A# Dm A#
and he makes it fast with one more thing
A#
we are the sultans
Dm
we are the sultans of swing
