           Dm  
you get a shiver in the dark  
         C           A#         A  
it's raining in the park but meantime

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  
 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 in other places  
A#                                    Dm  
but not too many horns can make that sound  
(But not too many horns are blowing that sound)  
A#  C  
        way on downsouth  
A#  C  
        way on downsouth

London town  

                Dm          C       A#          A

       A  
make it cry or sing  
F                       C  
and an old guitar is all he can afford  
A#                                         Dm   A# C  
when he gets up under the lights to play his thing  
Dm                      C     A#         A  
  (and) harry doesnb't mind if he doesn't make the scene  
Dm             C        A#                  A  
  he('s) got a daytime job he's doing al(l)right  
F                               C  
  he can play honky tone just like anything  
(He can play the honky tonk like anything)  

A#                      Dm      A# C  
  saving it up for friday night  
                  A# C  
with the sultans  
                     Dm     Dm C A# C  
with the sultans of swing  
                             Dm C A# C  

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# C  
it ain't what they call rock and roll  
                A# C  
and the sultans  
                        Dm     Dm C A# C  
and the sultans played creole  
(Yeah the Sultans they played Creole)  

                                Dm C A# C  

Dm                    C         A#         A  
and then the man he steps right up to the microphone  
Dm          C                A#         A    (A7)  
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# C  
and he makes it fast with one more thing  
                  A# C  
we are the sultans  
                      Dm        Dm C A# C  
we are the sultans of swing
