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'.
