[INTRO:] Em  G  D  A  E  G  D  Em C Em  G  D  Em C Em

[VERSE 1:]
G              D          
No one came to criticise
Em     C     Em
No one to complain
G              D               
Just to pass a little bit of time
    Em        C     Em
And play some human games
G                  D 
Some were smoking 'roll your owns'
      Em     C        Em
While others they had none
G             D                    
Everybody was holding hands
    Em           C      Em
And singing this little song


[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together
          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right
               D       
We can swing together
       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night


[VERSE 2:]
G                     D          
Then when things were happening
 Em          C      Em
Around about ten-to-four
            G                          D          
There was a screeching of brakes, dogs barking outside
      Em        C      Em
And a hammering on the door
G                   D          
Then the voice of officialdom
         Em          C           Em
Saying, 'Open in the name of the law'
    G                 D          
But we just a-kept on holding hands
    Em           C         Em
And singing this song some more


[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together
          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right
               D       
We can swing together
       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night


[VERSE 3:]
G                    D          
Then they broke down all the doors
     Em         C       Em
They kicked the windows in
     G                 D          
They let their doggies off the leads
         Em        C    Em
And they ransacked everything
     G             D
They stood us all against the wall
      Em    C          Em
Their faces split with grins
         G                   D          
And they linked each others' handcuffs
         Em        C      Em
And they merrily began to sing


[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together
          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right
               D       
We can swing together
       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night

[VERSE 4:]
     G                  D          
They took us to see the County Judge
       Em      C      Em
With a wig-hat on his head
   G                     D          
He heard our case with a smile on his face
    Em      C       Em
And this is what he said
      G                D          
"I'll have to send you all to jail
    Em         C        Em
For doing this terrible thing"
    G                D          
And as I walked down to the cells
  Em      C         Em
I swear I heard him sing


[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together
          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right
               D       
We can swing together
       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night


[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together
          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right
               D       
We can swing together
       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night


[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together
          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right
               D       
We can swing together
       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night


[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together
          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right
               D       
We can swing together
       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night


[CHORUS:]
G              D       
We can swing together
          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right
               D       
We can swing together
       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night


[CHORUS:]    (## fade to end ##)
G              D       
We can swing together
          Em         C        Em     G
'Cause we feel we're doing it right
               D       
We can swing together
       Em        C           Em
We can swing all through the night
