[INTRO:] Em G D A E G D Em C Em G D Em C Em [VERSE 1:]
G              D          
No one came to criticise

Em     C     Em
No one to complain

G              D               
Just to pass a little bit of time

    Em        C     Em
And play some human games

G                  D 
Some were smoking 'roll your owns'

      Em     C        Em
While others they had none

G             D                    
Everybody was holding hands

    Em           C      Em
And singing this little song
[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together

          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right

               D       
We can swing together

       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night
[VERSE 2:]
G                     D          
Then when things were happening

 Em          C      Em
Around about ten-to-four

            G                          D          
There was a screeching of brakes, dogs barking outside

      Em        C      Em
And a hammering on the door

G                   D          
Then the voice of officialdom

         Em          C           Em
Saying, 'Open in the name of the law'

    G                 D          
But we just a-kept on holding hands

    Em           C         Em
And singing this song some more
[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together

          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right

               D       
We can swing together

       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night
[VERSE 3:]
G                    D          
Then they broke down all the doors

     Em         C       Em
They kicked the windows in

     G                 D          
They let their doggies off the leads

         Em        C    Em
And they ransacked everything

     G             D
They stood us all against the wall

      Em    C          Em
Their faces split with grins

         G                   D          
And they linked each others' handcuffs

         Em        C      Em
And they merrily began to sing
[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together

          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right

               D       
We can swing together

       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night
[INSTRUMENTAL:] Em G D A E G D Em C Em G D Em C Em G D Em C Em G D Em C Em [VERSE 4:]
     G                  D          
They took us to see the County Judge

       Em      C      Em
With a wig-hat on his head

   G                     D          
He heard our case with a smile on his face

    Em      C       Em
And this is what he said

      G                D          
"I'll have to send you all to jail

    Em         C        Em
For doing this terrible thing"

    G                D          
And as I walked down to the cells

  Em      C         Em
I swear I heard him sing
[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together

'Cause we feel we're doing it right

               D

We can swing all through the night

G              D

'Cause we feel we're doing it right

               D       
We can swing together

       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night
[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together

          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right

               D       
We can swing together

       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night
[CHORUS:]
G              D

'Cause we feel we're doing it right

'Cause we feel we're doing it right

               D       
We can swing together

       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night

G              D       
We can swing together

'Cause we feel we're doing it right

We can swing together

       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night
