Chords with lyrics
Beautiful Swimmers
Jimmy Buffett
E MajorE A augmentedA (4x)
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Marilyn Monroe did a night shoot in a pool
BB
Posing naked for a Playboy spread
A augmentedA E MajorE
She was old, but she still was cool
A augmentedA E MajorE
When they wrapped right after midnight
G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
And the crew went to the bar
A augmentedA E MajorE
Norma Jean just did the backstroke
BB E MajorE
Like she was reaching for a fallen star
Chorus:
A augmentedA E MajorE
Beautiful Swimmers
BB E MajorE
Know how to move
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
Slidin’ cross the water like a steel guitar
A augmentedA E MajorE G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
Beautiful Swimmers stay in the groove
A augmentedA BB E MajorE A augmentedA
Riding constant currents near and far
E MajorE
Standing in a tidal pool
A augmentedA E MajorE
Just east of Baltimore
BB
Watching little blue crabs
A augmentedA E MajorE
Navigate the eastern shore
A augmentedA E MajorE
Every bayou stream and river
G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
In time runs to the sea
A augmentedA E MajorE
Every tadpole, flounder, and softshell
BB E MajorE
Feels the choreography
A augmentedA E MajorE
They’re all Beautiful Swimmers
BB E MajorE
They know how to move
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
Sneaking past the draggers and the oyster bars
A augmentedA E MajorE G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
Beautiful Swimmers just feel the groove
A augmentedA BB E MajorE A augmentedA
Painting liquid brush strokes like Renoir
G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
I miss my dorsal fin
G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
I can’t explain
G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
I’m a big fish out of water
A augmentedA BB
Dwelling on the coastal plain
E MajorE
Now If I was as rich as the Aga Khan
A augmentedA E MajorE
I tell you what I would do
BB
Buy every man, woman, and child on this planet
A augmentedA E MajorE
A augmentedA mask and a snorkel too
A augmentedA E MajorE
Then I’d lead the wild migration
G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
Destination Waimea Bay
A augmentedA BB
Then we’d splash our way around the world
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Life is just a water ballet
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
Come on you Beautiful Swimmers
E MajorE
Who know how to move
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
Let’s glide across the water like a steel guitar
A augmentedA E MajorE G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
Beautiful Swimmers stay in the groove
A augmentedA BB E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Catching constant currents near and far
