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

and drive on down to the cornwall shore

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

happy to be swimmin’ in the sea

G – C D | G – C D
the seagulls yell

and we hadn’t slept a wink all night

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

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

till our lips turned blue

[ 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
