Swim

Chords

Standard

In order to make it a bit easier to play I mute the 'g' string 
with my thumb on the Ab chords.

          Eb
You gotta swim
              Ab
Swim for your life
             Eb
Swim for the music 

That saves you
                                  Ab
When you're not so sure you'll survive

          Eb

             Ab

You haven't come this far
                Ab

    Bb
The currents will pull you
               Ab
Away from your love
