Swimmin' in the Sea
------------------------
Capo 1
G 320003
C x32010
D xx0232
Am x03320
The G - C D always hits with G on beat one, C on three, and D on four.
Let me know if the placeholder (-) or separator (|) is confusing/out of place.
I'm trying to keep things so people know where measures/chords are.
Intro (four times):
[G] [-] [C] [D]
G - C D | G - C
When I was five
D | G - C D
We'd get up at four
G - C D | G - C D
And drive on down to the Cornwall shore
[Am]Our holidays had come at [D]last
[Am]They came real slow and went by[D] fast
G - C D | G - C D
Just one week, that's all we had
G - C D | G - C D
Then back to work went mom and dad
Am D G - C D | G - C D
Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
G - C D | G - C D
The seagulls yell
You're [G]getting[-] near[C][D]
G - C D | G - C D
We'd waited patiently all year
[Am]And we hadn't slept a wink [D]all night
[Am]White faces in the morning [D]light
G - C D | G - C D
I see the sea my sister cried
G - C D | G - C D
The seaside we'd soon be beside
Am D G - C D | G - C D
Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
G - C D | G - C
Down to the sand
D | G - C D
With our bucket and our spade
G - C D | G - C D
Behind our yellow wind barricade
[Am]We'd bury dad up to his [D]chin
[Am]On with our trunks we'd jump [D]right in
G - C D | G - C D
'Round our waist a rubber ring
G - C D | G - C D
And on each arm a water wing
Am D G - C D | G - C D
Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
[C]It's so [G]cold
And [Am]rainin' [G]too
We'd [C]stay all [G]day
Till our [Am]lips turned [D]blue
[C]Only a [G]week
[Am]It wasn't [G]fair
We're on [Am]holi[D]day, [Am]holi[D]day, [Am]holi[D]day
G - C D | G - C D
And we don't care!
(solo)
(six times)
(sol[G]o [-]en[C]d)[D]
G - C D | G - C
In every pool
D | G - C D
Stranded by the tide
G - C D | G - C D
Clams and fishes under seaweed hide
[Am]We'd catch them all in a fishing [D]net
[Am]As close to heaven as a kid could[D] get
G - C D | G - C D
We'd dream of smugglers and pirate ships
G - C D | G - C D
Lunch was ice cream and a bag of chips
[Am]Happy to be[D] swimmin' in the sea
G - C D | G - C D
Now to kid of five
That [G]rocky s[-]hore[C][D]
G - C D | G - C D
Was a magical place full of tales and lore
[Am]Now the seagulls call once more to [D]me
[Am]Hey come on back to the Cornish [D]Sea
G - C D | G - C D
Now by the water by the foam
G - C D | G - C D
Just one more week and I'm going home
[Am]Happy to be[D]
[Am]Happy to be[D]
