          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
F                                 C
  A band is blowing Dixie double four time

              Dm                  C         Bb        A
Well now, you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Dm                      C                Bb      A
   Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
F                       C
  Competition in other places
Bb                                     Dm
   Uh, but the horns they blowin' that sound
Bb - C
        way on down south

             Dm             C  Bb        A
You check out Guitar George,     he knows all the chords
Dm                             C               Bb          A
  Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
F                           C
  They say an old guitar is all he can afford

[Instrumental]
Dm - (C passing) Bb - C - C x 2
 
[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
Yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole

Dm - (C passing) Bb - C - C x 2
 
[Verse 6]
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 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

Dire Straits-Brothers In Arms - BPM - 85

 Verse 1]
 
Am                 F   G
These mist covered mountains
                   C   F C
Are a home now for me
                   Am Em
But my home is the lowlands
                F G
And always will be
                  Am   Em
Some day you'll return to
                      F    G
Your valleys and your farms
                     Am
And you'll no longer burn
      F           G     
To be brothers in arms
Am   Am   F    G

 
[Verse 2]
Am                        F      G
Through these fields of destruction
               C  F  C
Baptisms of fire
                     Am   Em
I've witnessed your suffering
                      F     G
As the battles raged higher
                         Am     Em
And though they did hurt me so bad
                 F     G
In the fear and alarm
              Am
You did not desert me
   F           G     
My brothers in arms
Am   Am   F    G
 
[Verse 3]
Am         G              Am    G
There's so many different worlds
                  F     G
So many different suns
Am         G         Am    G
And we have just one world
                         F   G  F
But we live in different ones
 
[Verse 4]
Am                    F    G
Now the sun's gone to hell
                      C    F  C
And the moon's riding high
               Am  Em
Let me bid you farewell
                F    G
Every man has to die
                        Am  Em
But it's written in the starlight
                       F    G
And every line on your palm
                    Am
We're fools to make war
       F           G
On our brothers in arms
