The Swimming Song

Intro:

G                    
This summer I went swimming,  
                                           Em 
This summer I might have drowned  

      C 
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet  

          D7                       G          D7                       G  
And I moved my arms around, I moved my arms around.  

(Repeat Chord structure) 
This summer I swam in the ocean,  
And I swam in a swimming pool,  
Salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes,  
I'm a self-destructive fool, a self-destructive fool.  


This summer I swam in a public place  
And a reservoir, to boot,  
At the latter I was informal,  
At the former I wore my suit, I wore my swimming suit.  
  
This summer I did the backstroke  
And you know that's not all  
I did the breast stroke and the butterfly  
And the old Australian crawl, the old Australian crawl.  
  
This summer I did swan dives  
And jackknifes for you all  
And once when you weren't looking  
I did a cannonball, I did a cannonball.
