Don't Go In The Water
(Tingles EP)
(Intro) E
(V1) E (accent high strings)
Me and my girl were thinking of what to do
E
She said: let's go swimming
A
So we walked down to the shore
A
And we watched the waves come in
E
I didn't know then, now, what I'm telling you
(CH) B C D E
Don't go in the water, because I am so afraid
(V2) She took all her clothes off, she went swimming
In the water up to her pretty neck
Oh I stood on the shore
And I watched her swim around
The next thing I knew, she was going down
(I wish she'd listened to me)
(Chorus) Oh, I'm so afraid

(V3) Well I didn't know what to do, my girlfriend she was drowning
She was coughing and a-spluttering right in front of my face
Well I, I cannot swim to save my own life
But I don't wanna see my girlfriend die
(I wish she'd listened to me)
(Chorus) I'm so afraid
(End) A / / E ( x lots - fade out)
