[C5] [C5] [C5] [C5]
[C5] This summer [Csus4] I went [C] swimming
This [G] summer I might have [Am] drowned
But I [Am] held my breath and I [F] kicked my feet
And I [G] moved my arms [Am] around, I [G] moved my arms [C] around

[C5] This summer I [Csus4] swam in the [C] ocean
And I [G] swam in a swimming [Am] pool
[Am] Salt my wounds, chlo-[F]rine my eyes
I'm a [G] self-destructive [Am] fool, I'm a [G] self-destructive [C] fool

[C5] [Csus4] [C] [G] [Am] [Am] [F] [G] [Am] [G] [C]
This [C5] summer I [Csus4] did the [C] backstroke
And you [G] know that's not [Am] all
I did the [Am] breast stroke and the [F] butterfly
And the [G] old Australian [Am] crawl, the [G] old Australian [C] crawl

This [C5] summer I [Csus4] swam in a [C] public place
And a [G] reservoir, to [Am] boot
At the [Am] latter I was in-[F]formal
At the [G] former I wore my [Am] suit, I [G] wore my swimming [C] suit

[C5] [Csus4] [C] [G] [Am] [Am] [F] [G] [Am] [G] [C]
This [C5] summer I did [Csus4] swan dive [C]
And [G] jackknives for you all [Am]
And [Am] once when you weren't [F] looking
I [G] did a cannon-[Am]ball, I [G] did a cannon-[C]ball

[C5] This summer [Csus4] I went [C] swimming
This [G] summer I might have [Am] drowned
But I [Am] held my breath and I [F] kicked my feet
And I [G] moved my arms [Am] around
I [G] moved my arms [C] around
