          Dm                       C              Bb       A
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

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

   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

Pink Floyd-Breathe

 Em A
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, don't leave me
Look around and choose your own ground
Cmaj7
Long you live and high you fly
Bm7
Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
Fmaj7
all you touch and all you see
G D7#9 D7b9
Is all your life will ever be
Em A
Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.
Chorus(2):
Cmaj7
For long you live and high you fly
Bm7
But only if you ride the tide
Fmaj7
And balanced on the biggest wave
G D7#9 D7b9
You race towards an early grave
Em A
Home,home again I like to be here when I can
and when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones by the fire
Cmaj7 Bm7
Far away across the fields the tolling of the iron bell
Fmaj7
calls the faithful to their knees
G D7#9 D7b9
to hear the softly smoking magic spell
