Lindisfarne - We Can Swing Together
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[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
[INSTRUMENTAL:] Em G D A E G D Em C Em

[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
