...SWIMMIN' WITH THE WIMMIN'... by George Formby -------------------------------................. *N.B...Ukulele CHORD DIAGRAMS follow the Guitar Tab* *CAPO 3rd FRET* (Original Key: Bb) Intro: E7 Am A7 D7, G C G Verse 1: G E7 Ddim D7 Now every year about July, when summer time comes round, D7 G There's lots and lots of people at the seaside to be found. E7 Am Some play golf or tennis; others like to take a rest, A7 D A7 A7b5 D7 But here's the kind of exercise, that I en-joy the best; Chorus 1: G A7 When I go swimin' with the wimmin', D7 Ddim D7 G G7 Eee, 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 E7 Ddim D7 Now even when I am at home and working day to day, D7 G I always do look forward to my half day holiday. E7 Am The people don't invite me out, they know my half day's fixed, A7 D A7 A7b5 D7 I go out to the baths that day, be-cause the bathing's mixed. Chorus 2: G A7 When I go swimin' with the wimmin', D7 Ddim D7 G G7 Eee, I do have a real good time. C Edim G Bobbing up and down in the water, A7 With a pretty girl, whose name is Adeline. 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 wimmin'. Chorus 3: G One day I went in with some of my re-lations, G7 G+ C With some of my re-lations, A7 D And someone went and pushed my Uncle Jim in. B7 E7 He came up gasping for his breath and shouted; 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'!
