Loudon Wainwright Iii – The Swimming Song chords

[Verse 1]
     GThis summer I went swimming
     D                   EmThis summer I might have drowned
      C                    EmBut I held my breath and I kicked my feet
      C     Dadd9   EmAnd I moved my arms around
  C        Dadd9 GI moved my arms around


[Verse 2]
     GThis summer I swam in the ocean
      D                  EmAnd I swam in a swimming pool
 C                    EmSalt my wounds, chlorine my eyes
      C     Dadd9      EmI'm a self-destructive fool
      C     Dadd9      GI'm a self-destructive fool


[Verse 3]
     GThis summer I swam in a public place
      D             EmAnd a reservoir, to boot
       C            EmAt the latter I was informal
       C        Dadd9   EmAt the former I wore my suit
  C       Dadd9    GI wore my swimming suit


[Verse 4]
     GThis summer I did the backstroke
        D                    EmAnd you know that that's not all
          C                     EmI did the breast stroke and the butterfly
        C   Dadd9      EmAnd the old Australian crawl
    C   Dadd9      GThe old Australian crawl


[Verse 5]
     GThis summer I did swan dives
    D                  EmAnd jackknifes for you all
    C                     EmAnd once when you weren't looking
  C     Dadd9 EmI did a cannonball
  C     Dadd9 GI did a cannonball


[Verse 6]
     GThis summer I went swimming
     D                   EmThis summer I might have drowned
      C                    EmBut I held my breath and I kicked my feet
      C       Dadd9 EmAnd I moved my arms around
  C       Dadd9 GI moved my arms around
