Sultans of Swings (Live) - Dire Straits[00:00:00]
Written by:Mark Knopfler[00:00:02]
You get a shiver in the dark[00:00:20]
It's raining in the park but meantime[00:00:22]
South of the river you stop and you hold everything[00:00:27]
A band is blowing Dixie double four time[00:00:34]
You feel alright when you hear that music ring[00:00:40]
Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces[00:00:48]
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down[00:00:55]
Competition in other places[00:01:02]
Ah but the horns they blowing that sound[00:01:08]
Way on down south way on down south London town[00:01:15]
You check out guitar George he knows all the chords[00:01:33]
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing[00:01:39]
Yes and an old guitar is all he can afford[00:01:46]
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing[00:01:53]
And harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene[00:02:01]
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright[00:02:07]
He can play the honky tonk like anything[00:02:14]
Saving it up for Friday night[00:02:20]
With the sultans with the sultans of swing[00:02:26]
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner[00:02:44]
Drunk and dressed in their best platform soles[00:02:51]
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band[00:02:58]
It ain't what they call rock and roll rock and roll[00:03:04]
Then the sultans yeah the sultans they play creole[00:03:13]
And then the man he steps right up to the Microphone[00:04:12]
And says at last just as the time bell rings[00:04:19]
Goodnight now it's time to go home[00:04:25]
Then he makes it fast with one more thing[00:04:31]
We are the sultans we are the sultans of swing[00:04:37]
