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
You wouldn't think that,
                  D7
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
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
With a pretty girl,
Whose name is Ade-line.

    G
You ought to see,
    G7          G+  C
Her latest bath-ing costume;
     A7
It's nothing but,
                D7
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
One day I went in,
     G7         G+ C
With some of my re-lations,
    A7
And someone went,
                    D
And pushed my Uncle Jim in.

B7          E7
 He came up gasping,
For his breath and shouted;
Am              A7
 "What a lovely death,
            D7
To die when swimmin',
         G        C  G
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
So I jumped in,
     G7         G+ C
With nearly all my clothes on,
    A7
And swam until my eyesight,
        D7
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'.
