Am
You get a shiver in the dark
G F E
it's raining in the park but meantime
Am G F E
south of the river you stop and you hold everything
C G
a band is blowing Dixie double four time
F Am F-G
you feel alright when you hear that music ring
Am G F E
(Now) you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Am G F E
coming in out of the rain to (you) hear the jazz go down
C G
too much competition too many other places
F Am
but not too many horns can make that sound
(But not too many horns are blowing that sound)
[Chorus]
F-G
way on downsouth
F-G
way on downsouth
Am Am-G-F-G Am-G-F-G
London town
[Verse]
Am G F E
you check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Am G F E
mind he's (his) strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
C G
and an old guitar is all he can afford
F Am F-G
when he gets up under the lights to play his thing
Am G F E
(and) harry doesnb't mind if he doesn't make the scene
Am G F E
he('s) got a daytime job he's doing al(l)right
C G
he can play honky tone just like anything

saving it up for friday night
[Chorus]
F-G
with the sultans
Am Am-G-F-G
with the sultans of swing
Am-G-F-G
[Verse]
Am G F E
and a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Am G F E
drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
C G
they don't give a damn about ('bout) any trumpet playing band
F Am F-G
it ain't what they call rock and roll
[Chorus]
F-G
and the sultans
Am Am-G-F-G
and the sultans played creole
(Yeah the Sultans they played Creole)
Am-G-F-G
[Lead 1]
(chords: Follow 1 full verse)
Am G F E
and then the man he steps right up to the microphone
Am G F E (E7)
and says at last just as the time bell rings
C G
thank you goodnight now it's time to go home
F Am F-G
and he makes it fast with one more thing
[Chorus]
F-G
we are the sultans
Am Am-G-F-G
we are the sultans of swing
Am - G - F - G
