 The Swimming Song
 by Loudon Wainwright III
 G
 This summer I went swimming
                           Em
 THis summer I might have drowned
       C                    D7
 But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
        G             Em 
 And I moved my arms around.
  D7             G
 I moved my arms around.
 
 This summer I swam in the ocean
 Swam in the swimming pool
 Salt in my wounds, chlorine in my eyes,
 I'm a self-destructive fool,
 Self-destructive fool.
 
 <Break>
 
 This summer I did the backstroke,
 And you know that thats not all.
 I did the breast stroke and the butterfly,
 And the old Australian crawl,
 The old Australian crawl.
 
 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.
 
 <Break>
 
 This summer I did swan dives and 
 Jack knives for you all.
 And once when you weren't looking
 I did a cannonball
 I did a cannonball.
 
 This summer I went swimming
 THis summer I might have drowned
 But I held my breath and I kicked my feet 
 And I moved my arms around.
 I moved my arms around.
