Swimming chords by Brendan Benson

Verse:
Gm                                Cm
North of shelby town there's a lake uncharted
Gm                                Cm
And from an anchor town comes a boy whole hearted
Bb        D              Eb
All his preparation so exhausting
Gm       F                  C
Built endurance makes him right for the crossing
Gm                                Cm
And not in winter time cause the lake's all frozen
Gm                                Cm
June is opportune so the date is chosen
Bb        D              Eb
Take the tripod to raft for short filming
Gm       F                  C
It's only small town news but to us he's famous
Gm       F                D            C
His declaration makes everyone think he's the greatest
Ab        Cm     Eb      F
All the way in record time
D                                            C
All our eyes were glued to the waves that he made in an unnamed lake
Ab        Cm     Eb      F
Follow the wake through record time
D                                            C
All the while the camera's collecting the take...
C

All collecting the take.
Gm                                Cm
It's only us except for a lone man fishing
Gm                                Cm
Find a shady spot to lay out the provisions
Bb        D              Eb
Puts his goggles on for underwater vision
Gm       F                  C
As he breaks the glass into water with diver's precision
Gm       F                D            C
He's one ambitious boy, an olympic tradition
Ab        Cm     Eb      F
All the way in record time
D                                            C
All our eyes were glued to the waves that he made in an unnamed lake
Ab        Cm     Eb      F
Follow the wake in record time
D                                          C
All the while the camera's collecting the take
Ab        Cm     Eb      F
All the way in record time
D                                            C
All our eyes were glued to the waves that he made in an unnamed lake
Ab        Cm     Eb      F
Follow the wake in record time
D                                            C
All the while the camera's collecting the take...

Outro:
F     D            Gm
Ah, collecting the take
F     D            Gm
All our eyes were glued to him.
