Swim!

 Just a little "buck up, cheer up!" kinda song. Written by me, just now, though it is in a 1920's style...


   C
Now the sea of life,
           2323
has some storms and gales
           Dm
as a sailor would say,
        G7   G7+
you have to trim your sails
     C
when you go right over
           2323
and you're cold and wet,
           Dm
this is what you gotta to do,
G7 G7+
don't give up yet...

CHORUS
          C      
You gotta swim, don't sink
           2323
You gotta wave, don't drown,
           Dm
You gotta turn that frowny-face,
        G7   G7+
Upside down
          C      
You gotta smile, don't sigh
           2323
You gotta laugh, don't cry,
           Dm
You gotta keep on goin,
        G7   G7+
You gotta try, try, try
             C                
Because the storm won't last,
     C7
The sea will calm,
         F7
And you soon be
Fm
Nice and warm
          C                       Dm    G7    C
Just keep trying, and you'll be dry and home soon
G7
do-pa-de-do.

C  2323  Dm  G7 G7+
C  2323  Dm  G7 G7+
C  C7 F7 Fm
C  Dm G7 C  G7+

                C
Now when you're in the drink,
         2323
And you're feeling wet,
Dm
There's some advice,
G7 +
you're gonna to get,

           C
Will only drag you down,
         2323
into the blue,
Dm
don't let it all,
G7+
get to you

          C
Cos there's some other folks,
      C7
They buoy you up,
F7                          Fm
make you feel like you'll not give up,
          C                       Dm       G7       C
So stick  with the swimmers not the ones who drag you down
G7+
blub-iddy blub.
