(Original Key: Bb)
Intro:
E7 Am A7 D7, G C G
Verse 1:
G
Now every year about July
E7 Ddim D7
When summer time comes round
D7
There's lots and lots of people
G
At the seaside to be found
E7
Some play golf or tennis,
Am
Others like to take a rest
A7 D
But here s the kind of exercise
A7 A7b5 D7
That I en-joy the best.
Chorus 1:
G A7
When I go swimin with the wimmin,
D7 Ddim D7 G G7
Ee I do have a real good time
C Edim G
Bobbing up and down in the water,
A7 D7
It comes just below my Mason Dixon line
G G7 G+ C
To see the ladies do their ex-er-cises,
A7 D7
You wouldn't think that half of them were slimming
B7 E7
And when the girls stand up to sneeze
Am A7
You can see their housemaids knees
D7 G C G
If you go swimmin with the wimmin.
Verse 2:
G
Now even when I am at home
E7 Ddim D7
And working day to day
D7
I always do look forward
G
To my half day holiday
E7
The people don't invite me out,
Am
They know my half day's fixed
A7 D
I go out to the baths that day
A7 A7b5 D7
Be-cause the bathing's mixed.
Chorus 2:
G A7
And I go swimmin' with the wimmin'
D7 Ddim D7 G G7
And I do have a real good time
C Edim G
I go bobbing up and down in the water
A7 D7
With a pretty girl whose name is Ade-line.
G G7 G+ C
You ought to see her latest bath-ing costume
A7 D7
It's nothing but a little bit of trimming
B7 E7
And what I took to be her face
Am A7
Turned out to be a different place
D7 G C G
When I went swimmin' with the wimnin'.
Chorus 3:
G G7 G+ C
One day I went in with some of my re-lations
A7 D7
And someone went and pushed my Uncle Jim in
B7 E7
He came up gasping for his breath
Am A7
And shouted "What a lovely death
D7 G C G
To die when swimmin' with the wimmin''.'
Chorus 4:
G A7
Once I went swimmin' with the wimmin'
D7 Ddim D7 G G7
And I did feel a big soft thing
C Edim G
A woman went and fainted in the water
A7 D7
And where she disappeared it left a ring
G G7 G+ C
So I jumped in with nearly all my clothes on
A7 D7
And swam until my eyesight started dimming
B7 E7
And after fighting for my life
Am A7
I found I'd gone and saved the wife
D7 G C G
So I've chucked swimmin' with the wimmin'.
