This summer I went swimming
D MajorD E minorEm
This summer I might have drowned
C majorC
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
D MajorD E minorEm
And I moved my arms around
D MajorD G+G
I moved my arms around
C majorC G+G
This summer I swam in the ocean
D MajorD E minorEm
I swam in a swimming pool
C majorC
Salt my wounds, chlorined my eyes
D MajorD E minorEm
I'm a self-destructive fool
D MajorD G+G
I'm a self destructive fool
INSTRUMENTAL: G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD G+G
C majorC G+G
This summer I did the backstroke
D MajorD E minorEm
And you know that's not all
C majorC
I did the breaststroke and the butterfly
D MajorD E minorEm
And the old Australian crawl
D MajorD G+G
The old Australian crawl
C majorC G+G
This summer I swam in a public place
D MajorD E minorEm
And a reservoir to boot
C majorC
At the latter, I was informal
D MajorD E minorEm
At the former, I wore my suit
D MajorD G+G
I wore my swimming suit
INSTRUMENTAL: G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD G+G
C majorC G+G
This summer I did swan dives
D MajorD E minorEm
And jack-knives for you all
C majorC
And once when you weren't looking
D MajorD E minorEm
I did a cannonball
D MajorD G+G
I did a cannonball
C majorC G+G
This summer I went swimming
D MajorD E minorEm
This summer I might have drowned
C majorC
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
D MajorD E minorEm
And I moved my arms around
D MajorD G+G
I moved my arms around
