|C F9 |
|C G |
Verse 1:
|C F9 G |
Night - swimming...
|C F9 D9* |
deserves a quiet night.
|F9 G |
The..
|C F9 G |
photograph on the dashboard,
|C F9 D9* |
taken years ago,
|F9 G |
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
|C F9 G |
Every streetlight reveals the
|C F9 D9* |
picture in re-verse.
|F9 G |
Still it's so much clearer.
|C F9 G |
I forgot my shirt at the
|C F9 D9* |
water's edge. The moon is low to-
|F9 G |
-night.
[Intro] (x1)
|C F9 |

Verse 2:
|C F9 G |
Night - swimming...
|C F9 D9* |
deserves a quiet night. I’m
|F9 G |
not sure all these people under-
|C F9 G |
-stand. It’s not like years
|C F9 D9* |
ago. The fear of getting
|F9 G |
caught, of recklessness and
|C F9 G |
water. They cannot see me
|C F9 D9* |
naked. These things they go
|F9 G |
away, replaced by every(day).
Verse 3:
|C F9 G |
-day. Night - swimming...
|C F9 D9* |
remembering that night. Sep-
|F9 G |
-tember's coming soon. I'm
|C F9 G |
pining for the moon. And
|C F9 D9* |
what if there were two side by
|F9 G |
side in orbit around the fairest
|C F9 G |
sun? That bright, tight for-
|C F9 D9* |
-ever drum cannot describe night-
|F9 G |
swimming.
Verse 4:
|C F9 G |
You, I thought I knew you.
|C F9 D9* |
You, I can-not judge.
|F9 G |
You, I thought you knew me. This one’s
|C F9 G |
laughing quiet-ly under-
|C F9 D9* |
-neath my breath. Night-
|F9 G |
swimming.

Verse 5:
|C F9 G |
photograph re-flects every
|C F9 D9* |

night.

de-serves a quiet
|F9 G |
night.

Notes:
I found the previous tab hard to follow and played around with the chords
a little to get the rhythm down first. In doing so, I discovered that by
simply removing the A note off the C chord it sounded closer to the song.
Then, by changing the C to a Cadd9 and doing the same thing, song became
extremely simple to play and still sounds great (on my guitar, actually
better this way, to me). Thus creating the "Aadd9" (A9*) for lack of a name.
(Sure you'll let me know the real chord)
I show the basic Intro and Verse progressions above. I suggest just
strumming until you get the rhythm down as it's not a very complicated
song. Then by adding in base lines especially on the G chords, and using
some middle string strumming you can make things a bit more interesting.
Anyways, I love this song and give thanks and credit to for the original
post. If you're looking, this is a great acoustic solo-artist song.
(Hopefully, this version works with formatting, else I give up - sorry for the previous one)
Good luck, have fun!
