[Intro] D7sus2 [Chorus]
           Em                     Cmaj7
Well, it's cold down here in the water

     Am7       D7           G
It's cold down here in the sea

F#m7            B7        Em     A7
     Who'd be a channel swimmer?

Am7        D7         G
    Only a fool like me
[Verse 1]
F#m7                 B7
     I've greased my body

        F#m7             B7
And I'm heading over the ocean

F#m7           B7           F#m7      B7
     These two arms are the only locomotion I need

Am7    D7       Am7          D7
See me swim and see me float

Am7         D7      G
    I don't need no motorboat

     D/F#      C7
Or a yacht to get me there
[Bridge]
            Gb7   F7
I'll do the breaststroke

        Gb7 F7
And the backstroke

        Gb7
I'll do anything

        Ebmaj7
I'll be swimming when you're all asleep

        Em7b5
I'll be swimming when you're all awake

            Gb7 F7
I'll do the sidestroke

          Gb7 F7
The other sidestroke

            Gb7
I'll do the butterfly

                    B
But I ain't gonna crawl

                    Eb
On back to you, no way
[Solo] Em Cmaj7 Am7 D7 G F#m7 B7 Em A7 Am7 D7 G [Verse 2]
F#m7            B7              F#m7  B7
     I see your face in every breaker

F#m7            B7                F#m7 B7
     I see your smile across the reef

Am7         D7                Am7     D7
    I came across the sea to take you

Am7               D7             Am7 D7
    Don't make me out to be a thief
[Bridge]
          Ebmaj7
You'll be dreaming when you're all asleep

            Em7b5
But I'll be drowning when you're all awake

          Gb7   F7
I did the breaststroke

         Gb7  F7
I did my best stroke

      Gb7
I did everything

                   B
But I ain't good enough
[Chorus]
           Em                     Cmaj7
Well, it's cold down here in the water

     Am7       D7           G
It's cold down here in the sea

F#m7            B7        Em     A7
     Who'd be a channel swimmer?

Am7        D7         G
    Only a fool like me

F#m7            B7        Em     A7
     Who'd be a channel swimmer?

Am7        D7         G
    Only a fool like me

         F            Em
Would forget he can't swim
