The Swimming Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]This summer I went swimming,
this summer I might have drowned
But I held my [Em]breath and I [C]kicked my feet
and I [D]moved my [G]arms around
[Em]I move[G]d my arms around
This summer I swam in the ocean
and [D]I swam in a swimming pool
[Em]Saw my wounds clearing m[C]y eyes,
I'm a [D]self destructive fool
[Em]I'm a self[D] destructive fool[G]
[D][Em][C][D]
[Em][D]
[G]Hey, this summer I did the backstroke
And you know [D]that that's not all
[Em]I did the breaststroke
and the [C]butterfly
And the [D]old
Australian crawl
[Em]The old[D]
Australian crawl
[G]Hey, this summer I swam in a public place
In [D]a reservoir to boot
[Em]At the latter I wasn't formal[C]
At the former [D]I wore my suit
[Em]I wore my sw[D]imming suit,[G]
[Em]yeah[C][D]
[Em][D]
[G]This summer I did swan dives
[D]and jackknives for you [Em]all
But once when you weren't
[C]looking I did [D]a cannonball
[Em]I did a ca[D]nnonball
[G]This summer I went swimming
This [D]summer I might have drowned
[Em]But I held my breath and kicke[C]d my feet
And [D]I moved my arms around
[Em]Yes, I moved[D] my arms aroun[G]d
[D][Em][C][D]
[Em][D]
[G]Oh, this summer I was swimming and this
[D]summer I might have drowned
[Em]But I held my breath, kick[C]ed my feet,
[D]moved my arms around
[Em]I move[D]d my arms
[G]around[D][Em][C][D]
[Em]
[D]Don
Show[G]lander,
watch out!

[Outro 1]
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
