           Dm
You get a shiver in the dark
         C           Bb       A
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
 You step inside but you don't see too many faces
 Dm                      C                     Bb      A
  Coming in out of the rain to (you) hear the jazz go down
F                                      C
  Too much competition too many other places
Bb                                     Dm
  But not too many horns can make that sound
  (But not too many horns are blowing that sound)

Bb-C
        Way on downsouth
Bb-C
        Way on downsouth
Dm              Dm-C-Bb-C     Dm-C-Bb-C     
London town

                Dm          C       Bb          A
You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Dm                    C              Bb             
Mind he's (his) strictly rhythm he doesn't want to 
       A
Make it cry or sing
F                       C
And 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 doing al(l)right
F                               C
   He can play honky tone just like anything
(He can play the honky tonk like anything)

Bb                      Dm      Bb-C
  Saving it up for friday night
                  Bb-C
With the sultans
                     Dm     Dm-C-Bb-C
With the sultans of swing
                             Dm-C-Bb-C

Dm                     C           Bb            A
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Dm                 C                Bb           
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
   Bb                           Dm      Bb-C
It ain't what they call rock and roll
                Bb-C
And the sultans
                        Dm     Dm-C-Bb-C     Dm-C-Bb-C
And the sultans played creole
(Yeah the Sultans they played 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 rings
F                           C
thank you goodnight now it's time to go home
        Bb                  Dm          Bb-C
and he makes it fast with one more thing
                  Bb-C
we are the sultans
