G-C-G
This summer I went swimming,
D-Dsus4-Em-Em7-Em
This summer I might have drowned
Em- C-Cadd9-C
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
D-Dsus4-D Em-Em7-Em
And I moved my arms around,
D-Dsus4-D G
I moved my arms around.
This summer I swam in the ocean,
And I swam in a swimming pool,
Salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes,
I'm a self-destructive fool, a self-destructive fool.
This summer I swam in a public place
And a reservoir, to boot,
At the latter I was informal,
At the former I wore my suit, I wore my swimming suit.
This summer I did the backstroke
And you know that's not all
I did the breast stroke and the butterfly
And the old Australian crawl, the old Australian crawl.
This summer I did swan dives
And jackknifes for you all
And once when you weren't looking
I did a cannonball, I did a cannonball.
