#Gone Swimming

#written by Mark Curry
#as performed on the album "It's Only Time"

#This is one of the best song I know so far. Besides it's very easy (at least the
#rhythm guitar, singing simutaneously might be more difficult)!
#The G is played at the 3rd fret and you slide into the F played at the first
#fret, everytime you have a G followed by an F.
#You really have to listen to the CD for the rhythm of the voice. I thought
#about putting the chords right where they are sung, but somehow this made
#the appearance of the file even worse, so I aligned them to the words, which
#is not exactly the way they are sung, but much easier to visualize. You'll
#get it anyway, I guess.

GF
Down by the Riverside, well there's a place for me
CC
Where I won't sit and think about where I'd rather be
GF
and I don't need nothing
CC
but the look on my face
G(stop)
It's all bullshit
F(stop) D C(stop)
It's just the time it takes between
GD
where it comes and where it
C
You can go swimming, no sign of rainstorms or
F
thunder I won't be joining you
C
because today between the time it's taking
F C(stop)
me to wonder I just might get sucked under
single note riff: g a# c d#^c
e-I-----------------------|I
h-I---------------po------|I
g-I----------5~~~-8^5~~---|I
d-I----5--8---------------|I
A-I-----------------------|I
E-I-----------------------|I
GFCC
Down by the ocean, it's all behind me it's just an open sea,
GF
and I can really see for miles
CC
I wish I knew just what I was looking for
G(stop) F(stop) D
A pool of endless rhymes, I ain't talking 'bout the water
C(stop) G D
We're talking time, where it comes and where it yeah
CF
You can go swimming, there's been no warning of hurricane
C
or tidal wave, ain't no dangerous fish out there
F
I won't be joining you still
C
It's just a feeling in me I get washed out to the sea
C(sus2
Yeah the sea
D D Am Am fooling around with Dsus2, Dsus4,
D D Am Am(stop) Am7 and Amsus2 sounds nice if you're
playing alone (i.e. without band)
D
I wish I could go 'cause you know
C
that the water doesn't usually frighten me so
F
It's not the depth of the sea that infatuates me
G
It's what remains to be seen, like the time in between
DF
where it comes and where it goes
D F C(stop) riff
where it goes yeah
GF
Down in a creekbed in my old neighbourhood
CC
there is a trickle that's dirty and warm
GF
and I have spend many a childhood hour there
CC
It's where I used to play, seems like yesterday
GF
But I was younger then, just make believing
CC
making wishes and tossing pennies in
G(stop) F(stop)
and now I've grown, haven't changed my tone,
DCF
just getting stoned and ain't pretending that I know
CF
You can go swimming though it's only a trickle there
C
and the floodgates haven't worked for years
F
I won't be joining you, no, I wish I could go
but I
CF
and I
CF
You can go swimming
fade out...
