  Gone Swimming 

  

  written by Mark Curry

  as performed on the album "It's Only Time"

  transcribed by Anand Kumar (ST001904@hrz1.hrz.th-darmstadt.de)

  

  

  This is one of the best song I know so far. Besides it's very easy (at least the

  rhythm guitar, singing simutaneously might be more difficult)!

  The G is played at the 3rd fret and you slide into the F played at the first

  fret, everytime you have a G followed by an F.

  You really have to listen to the CD for the rhythm of the voice. I thought 

  about putting the chords right where they are sung, but somehow this made

  the appearance of the file even worse, so I aligned them to the words, which

  is not exactly the way they are sung, but much easier to visualize. You'll 

  get it anyway, I guess.

  

  G   F   C   C

  G   F   C   C

  G                           F

  Down by the Riverside, well there's a place for me

        C                           C

  Where I won't sit and think about where I'd rather be

  G                  F

  and I don't need nothing 

  C                  C

  but the look on my face

  G(stop)

  It's all bullshit

  F(stop)                       D       C(stop)

  It's just the time it takes between

                           G     D

  where it comes and where it

  

  C

  You can go swimming, no sign of rainstorms or

  F

  thunder I won't be joining you

  C

  because today between the time it's taking 

  F                                      C(stop)

  me to wonder I just might get sucked under

  

  single note riff: g a# c d#^c

  

  e-I----------------------I

  h-I---------------po-----I

  g-I----------5~~~-8^5~~--I

  d-I----5--8--------------I

  A-I----------------------I

  E-I----------------------I

  

  G           F     C                  C

  Down by the ocean, it's all behind me it's just an open sea, 

  G                        F

  and I can really see for miles

  C             C

  I wish I knew just what I was looking for

  G(stop)                   F(stop)                   D

  A pool of endless rhymes, I ain't talking 'bout the water

                C(stop)                        G    D

  We're talking time, where it comes and where it   yeah

  

  C                                               F

  You can go swimming, there's been no warning of hurricane

                                    C

  or tidal wave, ain't no dangerous fish out there

                         F

  I won't be joining you still

                                                    C

  It's just a feeling in me I get washed out to the sea

  

           C(sus2)

  Yeah the sea

  

  D  D  Am  Am               fooling around with Dsus2, Dsus4,

  D  D  Am  Am(stop)         Am7 and Amsus2 sounds nice if you're 

                             playing alone (i.e. without band)

  

  D

  I wish I could go 'cause you know

                         C

  that the water doesn't usually frighten me so

                            F

  It's not the depth of the sea that infatuates me

                          G

  It's what remains to be seen, like the time in between

                              D     F

  where it comes and where it goes

           D        F        C(stop)    riff

  where it goes yeah

  

  G                  F

  Down in a creekbed in my old neighbourhood

  C                         C

  there is a trickle that's dirty and warm

  G                       F

  and I have spend many a childhood hour there

  C                          C

  It's where I used to play, seems like yesterday

  G                       F

  But I was younger then, just make believing

  C             C

  making wishes and tossing pennies in

  G(stop)             F(stop)

  and now I've grown, haven't changed my tone,

                      D	                        C        F

  just getting stoned and ain't pretending that I know

  

  C                                      F

  You can go swimming though it's only a trickle there

                                        C

  and the floodgates haven't worked for years

                          F

  I won't be joining you, no, I wish I could go 

  

  but I

      C     F

  and I

  C                     F

  You can go swimming

  

  fade out...
