The Swimming Song

G                  C       G  
This summer I went swimming 
         Dsus2                    Em 
This summer I might have drowned  
                                       C 
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet  
         D                     G            D                     G 
And I moved my arms around, I moved my arms around 

G                  C                  G  
This summer I swam in the ocean 
         Dsus2                      Em 
And I swam in a swimming pool 
                          C 
Salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes 
     D                       G         D                   G 
I'm a self-destructive fool, a self-destructive fool 

G                 C                G   
This summer I swam in a public place  
          Dsus2        Em 
And a reservoir, to boot 
                           C 
At the latter I was informal  
            D                     G       D                         G 
At the former I wore my suit, I wore my swimming suit 

G                 C           G  
This summer I did the backstroke  
         Dsus2                  Em 
And you know that's not all  
                                            C 
I did the breast stroke and the butterfly  
        D                        G            D                  G 
And the old Australian crawl, the old Australian crawl 

G                  C     G  
This summer I did swan dives  
       Dsus2                 Em 
And jackknifes for you all  
                                        C 
And once when you weren't looking  
  D                G       D                G 
I did a cannonball, I did a cannonball     

G                   C      G  
This summer I went swimming 
         Dsus2                    Em 
This summer I might have drowned  
                                                  C 
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet  
       D                        G           D                     G 
And I moved my arms around, I moved my arms around
