D#m C# B A#You get a shiver in the dark, it's raining in the park but meantime

D#m C# B A# South of the river you stop and you hold everything

F# C# A band is blowing Dixie double four time

B D#m B C# You feel alright when you hear that music ring

D#m C# B A#Well now, you step inside but you don't see too many faces

D#m C# B A# Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down

F# C# Competition in other places

B D#m Uh, but the horns they blowin' that sound

B C# way on down south

B C# way on down south

D#mLondon Town

D#m C# B A#You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords

D#m C# B A# Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing

F# C# They say an old guitar is all he can afford

B D#m B C# When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

D#m C# B A# And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene

D#m C# B A# He's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright

F# C# He can play the honky tonk like anything

B D#m B C# Saving it up for Friday night

B C#with the Sultans

D#mwith the Sultans of Swing

D#m C# B A#Then a crowd of young boys, they're foolin' around in the corner

D#m C# B A# Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

F# C# They don't give a damn about about any trumpet playin' band

B D#m B C# It ain't what they call rock and roll

B C#and the Sultans

D#mYeah, the Sultans, they play Creole

D#m C# B C#... Creole

D#m C# B A# And then the man he steps right up to the microphone

D#m C# B A# A#7 And says at last just as the time bell ring

F# C# Goodnight, now it's time to go home

B D#m B C# Then he makes it fast with one more thing

B C#We are the Sultans
