The Swimming Song

G D Em Em C D Em D G G This summer I went swimming D Em This summer I might have drowned Em C But I held my breath, I kicked my feet D Em Moved my arms around D G I moved my arms around G This summer I swam in the ocean D Em And I swam in a swimming pool Em C Salt my wounds, chlorined my eyes D Em Im a self-destructive fool D G Self-destructive fool G D Em Em C D Em D G G This summer I did the back stroke D Em And you know that that is not all Em C I did the breast stroke, the butterfly D Em And the old Australian crawl D G The old Australian crawl G This summer I swam in a public place D Em And a reservoir to boot Em C At the latter I was informal D Em At the former I wore my suit D G I wore my swimming suit, Yeah G D Em Em C D Em D G G Oh, this summer I did swan dives D Em And jack-knives for you all Em C And once when you weren’t looking D Em I did a cannon-ball D G I did a cannon-ball G This summer I went swimming D Em This summer I might have drowned Em C But I held my breath, I kicked my feet D Em And moved my arms around D G I moved my arms around G D Em Em C D Em D G (4x)
