Beautiful Swimmers chords by Jimmy Buffett

Beautiful Swimmers
Jimmy Buffett

E   A (4x)

E          A        E
Marilyn Monroe did a night shoot in a pool
    B
Posing naked for a Playboy spread
    A           E
She was old, but she still was cool
     A          E
When they wrapped right after midnight
    G#m       C#m
And the crew went to the bar
   A         E
Norma Jean just did the backstroke
       B           E
Like she was reaching for a fallen star

Chorus:
A        E
Beautiful Swimmers
B      E
Know how to move
A         E         B
Slidin' cross the water like a steel guitar
A     E    G#m     C#m
Beautiful Swimmers stay in the groove
A        B         E   A
Riding constant currents near and far

E
Standing in a tidal pool
   A      E
Just east of Baltimore
B
Watching little blue crabs
  A        E
Navigate the eastern shore
   A        E
Every bayou stream and river
  G#m       C#m
In time runs to the sea
   A           E
Every tadpole, flounder, and softshell
B         E
Feels the choreography
      A     E
They're all Beautiful Swimmers

B        E
They know how to move
A         E            B
Sneaking past the draggers and the oyster bars
A     E    G#m      C#m
Beautiful Swimmers just feel the groove
A        B         E    A
Painting liquid brush strokes like Renoir
G#m    C#m
I miss my dorsal fin
G#m    C#m
I can't explain
G#m          C#m
I'm a big fish out of water
A            B
Dwelling on the coastal plain
E
Now If I was as rich as the Aga Khan
A            E
I tell you what I would do
  B
Buy every man, woman, and child on this planet
 A         E
A mask and a snorkel too
     A        E
Then I'd lead the wild migration
   G#m      C#m
Destination Waimea Bay
     A        B
Then we'd splash our way around the world
A       B    E
Life is just a water ballet
      A     E      B
Come on you Beautiful Swimmers
        E
Who know how to move
A           E           B
Let's glide across the water like a steel guitar
A     E    G#m     C#m
Beautiful Swimmers stay in the groove
A         B         E   A E  A E
Catching constant currents near and far
