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 Cmaj Bbmaj-slide-C Dmin we are the sultans of swing 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.
