Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) 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 (Now) 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 Bb-C Bb-C way on downsouth 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 A mind he's (his) strictly rhythm he doesn't want to 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 doesnb'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 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 A drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles F C they don't give a damn about ('bout) any trumpet playing band Bb Dm Bb-C Bb-C it ain't what they call rock and roll and the sultans Dm Dm-C-Bb-C and the sultans played creole Dm-C-Bb-C Lead 1: ( chords:Follow 1 full verse) 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 Dm Dm-C-Bb-C we are the sultans of swing

Get the Chords Perfect

• You need to get the chords perfect before moving on.

• Do them in both positions.

• Be sure that you sing this song. Even if you can’t carry a tune sing. Listen to the record, the vocals aren’t as much singing as talking.

Notice that this is almost all chord tones!!! To play like the record you must use your fingers on your picking hand and not your pick. Some of the lines just can’t be played properly with a pick. Sound is also incorrect with a pick. Next couple of pages covers the main riffs done in this song. Work on them before putting the song together.

Note that you must work on this quite a bit to really get it. I have not included the solo yet but have the main idea in the riffs pages.

OK That Is It

• You could work the whole thing out or just do it by various parts that you like.

• Remember though that the fingers are used and not a pick.

• We won’t go over every part as that would take the whole term (I have done that before) but even so work on the main ideas.

• Particularly work on the intro and the final part of the solo.

• Adding in a breakdown area really helps in breaking up the tune and adding interest.
