The Swimming Song

Intro

G
This summer I went swimming
D2                         Em
This summer I might have drowned
                         C
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
      D2                Em       D7             G
And I moved my arms around, I moved my arms around
(Repeat Chord structure)
G
This summer I swam in the ocean
D2                         Em
And I swam in a swimming pool
                         C
Salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes
      D2                Em       D7             G
I'm a self-destructive fool, a self-destructive fool
G
This summer I swam in a public place
D2                         Em
And a reservoir, to boot
                         C
At the latter I was informal
      D2                Em       D7             G
At the former I wore my suit, I wore my swimming suit
G
This summer I did the backstroke
D2                         Em
And you know that's not all
                         C
I did the breast stroke and the butterfly
      D2                Em       D7             G
And the old Australian crawl, the old Australian crawl
G
This summer I did swan dives
D2                         Em
And jackknifes for you all
                         C
And once when you weren't looking
      D2                Em       D7             G
I did a cannonball, I did a cannonball
