tabbed by : sam rayner
site : samrayner . com
this is the acoustic version of swim played by scott hutchison
for offthebeatentracks . tv :
i’ve tabbed it so it can be played with standard tuning and chords
but it sounds much better if you tune to cgdgbe and follow scott’s
versions of the chords .
n . B . simple chord names ( E . G . D ) are used for simplicity but the
fingerings differ between verse and chorus! refer to the guide below
if you want to match scott’s sound .
awesome song . enjoy!

G D Em C D C
we salute at the threshold of the north sea in my mind
G D Em C D C
and the nautical board - man that drove me here to face the tide and
G C5 G G C5 G G C5 G G C5
swim i swim i swim
G D Em C D C
dip the toe in the ocean . oh how it hardens and it numbs
G D Em C D C
and the rest of me is a burgeoned man built to collapse into crumbs
G D Em C D C
and if i hadn’t come down to the coast to disappear
G D Em C D C
i may have died in a land - slide of the rocks , the hopes and fears .
G C5 G
so swim until you can’t see land |
G C5 G |
swim until you can’t see land |
G C5 G | x2
swim until you can’t see land |
D C |
are you a man , are you a bag of sand? |
G D Em C D C ( x2 )
G D Em C D C
up to my knees now , do i wait? do i dive?
G D Em C D C
the sea has seen my like before though it’s my first and perhaps last time .
G D Em C D C
let’s call me a baptist , call this the drowning of the past
G D Em C D C
she’s there on the shoreline throwing stones at my back
G C5 G
so swim until you can’t see land |
G C5 G |
swim until you can’t see land |
G C5 G | x2
swim until you can’t see land |
D C |
are you a man , are you a bag of sand? |
bridge ( x2 )
G D Em C D C
now the water’s taller than me and the land is a marker line
G D Em C D C
all i Am is a body adrift in water , salt and sky
G C5 G
so swim until you can’t see land |
G C5 G |
swim until you can’t see land |
G C5 G | x2
swim until you can’t see land |
D C |
are you a man , are you a bag of sand? |
D C
are you a man , are you a bag of sand?

are you a man , are you a bag of sand?
