[ar:Mark Knopfler] |

[al:] |
| [00:14.18] |
You get a shiver in the dark |
| [00:16.20] |
It's raining in the park but meantime |
| [00:21.30] |
South of the river you stop and you hold everything |
| [00:28.48] |
A band is blowing Dixie double four time |
| [00:35.05] |
You feel alright when you hear that music ring |
| [00:43.64] |
You step inside but you don't see too many faces |
| [00:51.17] |
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down |
| [00:57.50] |
Too much competition too many other places |
| [01:05.03] |
But not too many horns can make that sound |
| [01:11.30] |
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town |
| [01:29.35] |
You check out guitar George he knows all the chords |
| [01:37.02] |
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing |
| [01:43.90] |
And an old guitar is all he can afford |
| [01:49.92] |
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing |
| [01:58.81] |
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene |
| [02:06.36] |
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright |
| [02:13.23] |
He can play Honky Tonk just like anything |
| [02:19.30] |
Saving it up for Friday night |
| [02:26.27] |
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing |
| [02:44.11] |
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner |
| [02:51.74] |
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies |
| [02:53.41] |
And their platform soles |
| [02:58.16] |
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band |
| [03:05.03] |
It ain't what they call rock and roll |
| [03:11.87] |
And the Sultans played Creole |
| [04:15.71] |
And the man he steps right up to the microphone |
| [04:22.68] |
And says at last just as the time bell rings |
| [04:29.16] |
Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home |
| [04:36.07] |
And he makes it fast with one more thing |
| [04:42.04] |
We are the Sultans of Swing |
| [04:46.56] |
We are the Sultans of Swing |
