Biography:
Gaelic Storm is a highly-acclaimed Celtic band. Their music ranges from traditional Irish and Scottish music to original tunes, in both the Celtic traditions. Gaelic Storm's origins can be traced back to 1996, when Patrick Murphy and Steve Wehmeyer joined with Steve Twigger and Uillean piper Brian Walsh to perform at O'Brien's Irish Pub and Restaurant in Santa Monica, California, of which Murphy was the manager. This led to a number of pub performances for the next year.

Swimmin' in the Sea
------------------------
Capo 1
G 320003
C x32010
D xx0232
Am x03320
The G - C D always hits with G on beat one, C on three, and D on four.
Let me know if the placeholder (-) or separator (|) is confusing/out of place.
I'm trying to keep things so people know where measures/chords are.
Intro (four times):
G - C D
G - C D | G - C
When I was five
D | G - C D
We'd get up at four
G - C D | G - C D
And drive on down to the Cornwall shore
Am D
Our holidays had come at last
Am D
They came real slow and went by fast
G - C D | G - C D
Just one week, that's all we had
G - C D | G - C D
Then back to work went mom and dad
Am D G - C D | G - C D
Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
G - C D | G - C D
The seagulls yell
G - C D
You're getting near
G - C D | G - C D
We'd waited patiently all year
Am D
And we hadn't slept a wink all night
Am D
White faces in the morning light
G - C D | G - C D
I see the sea my sister cried
G - C D | G - C D
The seaside we'd soon be beside
Am D G - C D | G - C D
Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
G - C D | G - C
Down to the sand
D | G - C D
With our bucket and our spade
G - C D | G - C D
Behind our yellow wind barricade
Am D
We'd bury dad up to his chin
Am D
On with our trunks we'd jump right in
G - C D | G - C D
'Round our waist a rubber ring
G - C D | G - C D
And on each arm a water wing
Am D G - C D | G - C D
Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
C G
It's so cold
Am G
And rainin' too
C G
We'd stay all day
Am D
Till our lips turned blue
C G
Only a week
Am G
It wasn't fair
Am D Am D Am D
We're on holiday, holiday, holiday
G - C D | G - C D
And we don't care!
[solo]
(six times)
G - C D
[solo end]
G - C D | G - C
In every pool
D | G - C D
Stranded by the tide
G - C D | G - C D
Clams and fishes under seaweed hide
Am D
We'd catch them all in a fishing net
Am D
As close to heaven as a kid could get
G - C D | G - C D
We'd dream of smugglers and pirate ships
G - C D | G - C D
Lunch was ice cream and a bag of chips
Am D
Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
G - C D | G - C D
Now to kid of five
G - C D
That rocky shore
G - C D | G - C D
Was a magical place full of tales and lore
Am D
Now the seagulls call once more to me
Am D
Hey come on back to the Cornish Sea
G - C D | G - C D
Now by the water by the foam
G - C D | G - C D
Just one more week and I'm going home
Am D
Happy to be
Am D
Happy to be
Am D G - C D
Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
