Pigs Cant Swim Tab

by Irish Rovers


[]I once had a pig that []loved me.
He lived in a shed in the []country.
In a middle class district of []Dunfries.
[]But a sad kind of pig was []he.

Chorus:
[]Pigs can't swim and []pigs can't fly
But Pigs can see the []wind go by.
Pigs make lovely []household friends.
When winter comes then []summer ends.

[]Each week that lofty []beasty - 
Would beg with eyes so []misty.
To take him over to []England.
[]His life's dream to []fulfill.

Chorus

[]He wants to plunge into the []channel 
Swim to France would be his []gamble
Florence Chadwick couldn't hold a []candle
[]To such a daring pig as []he.

Chorus

(This verse sung in pigs perspective - silly falsetto)
[]So then I came up to him []askin'
will our friendship not be []lastin'
and he told me I was []graspin' 
[]and he needed to be []free!

Chorus

[G]So will you take me there [D]tomorrow
In a pigs eye I said with [G]sorrow
So he drown himself in the [C]bath tub (Naughty Boy)
[D]And I had pork chops with my [G]tea!

Chorus 

[G]Early in the [D]morning 
so early in the [G]morning
so early in the [C]morning 
[D]before the break of [G]day
