Of Swing chords
Dire Straits *
Dm C C Dm C C
Dm
You get a shiver in the dark
C Bb A
It s been 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 all right 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 hear the jazz go down
F C
Too much competition too many other places
Bb Dm Bb/C
But not too many horns can make that sound
Bb/C Dm C Bb C Dm C Bb C
Way on down south way on down south London town
Dm C/Bb A
You check out guitar George he knows all the chords
Dm C Bb A
Mind he s strictly rhythm he doesn t want to make it cry or sing
F C Bb
And an old guitar is all he can afford
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 alright
F C
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Bb Dm Bb/C
Saving it up for Friday night
Bb/C Dm C Bb C Dm C Bb C
With the sultans with the sultans of swing
Dm C Bb A
And a crowd of young boys they re fooling around in the corner
Dm C Bb A
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
F C
They don t give a damn about any trumpet playing band
Bb Dm Bb/C
It ain t what they call rock and roll
Bb/C Dm C Bb C Dm C Bb C
And the sultans 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 its time to go home
Bb Dm Bb/C
And he makes it fast with one more thing
Dm C Bb C Dm C Bb C
we are the sultans of swing
Dm C Bb C Dm C Bb C x7
