Gone Swimming

This is one of the best song I know so far. Besides it's very easy (at least the
rhythm guitar, singing simutaneously might be more difficult)!
The G+G is played at the 3rd fret and you slide into the FF played at the first
fret, everytime you have a G+G followed by an F.
You really have to listen to the CD for the rhythm of the voice. I thought
about putting the chords right where they are sung, but somehow this made
the appearance of the file even worse, so I aligned them to the words, which
is not exactly the way they are sung, but much easier to visualize. You'll
get it anyway, I guess.
