EA (4x)
EAE
Marilyn Monroe did a night shoot in a pool
B
Posing naked for a Playboy spread
AE
She was old, but she still was cool
AE
When they wrapped right after midnight
G#mC#m
And the crew went to the bar
AE
Norma Jean just did the backstroke
BE
Like she was reaching for a fallen star
AE
Beautiful Swimmers
BE
Know how to move
AEB
Slidin’ cross the water like a steel guitar
AEG#mC#m
Beautiful Swimmers stay in the groove
ABEA
Riding constant currents near and far
E
Standing in a tidal pool
AE
Just east of Baltimore
B
Watching little blue crabs
AE
Navigate the eastern shore
AE
Every bayou stream and river
G#mC#m
In time runs to the sea
AE
Every tadpole, flounder, and softshell
BE
Feels the choreography
AE
They’re all Beautiful Swimmers
BE
They know how to move
AEB
Sneaking past the draggers and the oyster bars
AEG#mC#m
Beautiful Swimmers just feel the groove
ABEA
Painting liquid brush strokes like Renoir
G#mC#m
I miss my dorsal fin
G#mC#m
I can’t explain
G#mC#m
I’m a big fish out of water
AB
Dwelling on the coastal plain
E
Now If I was as rich as the Aga Khan
AE
I tell you what I would do
B
Buy every man, woman, and child on this planet
AEA mask and a snorkel too
AE
Then I’d lead the wild migration
G#mC#m
Destination Waimea Bay
AB
Then we’d splash our way around the world
ABE
Life is just a water ballet
AEB
Come on you Beautiful Swimmers
E
Who know how to move
AEB
Let’s glide across the water like a steel guitar
AEG#mC#m
Beautiful Swimmers stay in the groove
ABEAEAE
Catching constant currents near and far
