Biografía:
Dire Straits fue una banda de Rock británica, fundada en 1977 por Mark Knopfler (guitarra y voz), David Knopfler (guitarra), John Illsley (bajo) y Pick Withers (batería), con Ed Bicknell como director.
Dire Straits grabó y realizó su primer álbum homónimo en 1978 con poca aceptación hasta que cinco meses después se lanzó un sencillo, Sultans of Swing, que convirtió el disco en uno de los más vendidos. El segundo álbum, Communiqué se lanzó poco después; estos dos primeros trabajos configuraron el sonido de la banda.

Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing
[Intro]
| Dm | Dm C | x4
[Verse 1]
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
Bb Dm Bb - C
You feel alright when you hear that music ring
[Verse 2]
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
Bb - C
way on down south
Dm
London Town
[Instrumental]
Dm - C - Bb - C
Dm - C - Bb - C
[Verse 3]
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
Bb Dm Bb - C
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
[Verse 4]
Dm C Bb A
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
Dm C Bb A
He's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright
F C
He can play the honky tonk like anything
Bb Dm Bb - C
Saving it up for Friday night
Bb - C
with the Sultans
Dm
with the Sultans of Swing
[Instrumental]
Dm - C - Bb - C
Dm - C - Bb - C
[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
[Instrumental]
Dm - C - Bb - C
... Creole

[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
