From: nickw@chilli.reo.dec.com (nick williams) 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
A7Sound 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....
