You get a shiver in the dark, it's raining in the park but meantime
Dm                        C            Bb         A
  South of the river you stop and you hold everything

F                       C
  Competition in other places
Bb                                     Dm

Dm                             C               Bb          A
  Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing

[Verse 5]
       Dm                           C        Bb           A
Then a crowd of young boys, they're foolin' 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 about any trumpet playin' band
Bb                                   Dm     Bb - C
   It ain't what they call rock and roll
                Bb - C
and the Sultans
                             Dm

   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 ring
F                      C
  Goodnight, now it's time to go home
Bb                                       Dm     Bb - C
   Then he makes it fast with one more thing
                   Bb - C
We are the Sultans
                      Dm
We are the Sultans of Swing

[Verse]          
[Am] As I walk along, I [G] wonder what went wrong 
With [F] our love 
A love that was so  [E7] strong.
[Am] And as I still walk on, I [G] think of, the things 
We`ve done to [F] gether 
while our hearts were [E7] young.

[Chorus] 
[A] I`m walking in the rain   
[F#m] Tears are falling and I feel the pain 
[A] Wishing you were here by me   
[F#m] To end this misery.

[A] wonder I wa-wa-wa-wa- [F#m] wonder?  
[A] Why? Wha, wha, wha, wha, [F#m] why, she ran away?
And I  [D] wonder, where she will  [E7] stay-yay 
My little [A] runaway [D] run, run, run, run, [A] runaway [E7]   

[Interlude]

[A] I`m  walking in the rain   
[F#m]  Tears are falling and I feel the pain 
[A] Wishing you were here by me   
[F#m]  To end this misery.

[A] wonder   I wa-wa-wa-wa- [F#m] wonder?  
[A] Why? Wha, wha, wha, wha,  [F#m] why, she ran away?
And I  [D] wonder, where she will  [E7] stay-yay 
My little [A] runaway [D] run, run, run, run, [A] runaway [E7]   

[Outro]           
[D] Run, run, run, run,  [A] runaway
