(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

Too much competition too many other places
Bb Dm
But not too many horns can make that sound
Bb Dm
(But not too many horns are blowing that sound)

Dmin (5th posn) Cmaj (3rd pos) Bbmaj
(1st pos) A7 (1st pos)
You get a shiver in the dark, its raining in the park the
meantime
Dmin Cmaj Bbmaj
A7
Sound of the river you can hear
everything
Fmaj (1st pos) Cmaj (3p)
A band is blowing dixie - double four time
Bbmaj (1p) Dmin (5p)
You go inside when you hear the music play
Bbmaj Dmin Bbmaj-(slide)-Cmaj (short fill)
The rest of the song continues with the same chord structure, but between
some verses there is a long-fill/chorus which is:
Bbmaj Dmin Bbmaj-slide-C
We are the sultans
Bbmaj Dmim Bbmaj-slide- C Dmin
we are the sultans of swing
Dmin Cmaj Bbmaj-slide-C Dmin C {repeat once}
Note -
The Bb-Dmin-Bbmaj-C part in the chorus can be quite tricky if the song is
played at a fast tempo. One trick is just to play strings 2,3,4 (using the
first finger for Bb and C). Then, the Dmin shape can be fingered on top of
the C shape using fingers 2,3,4.
Enjoy....
