Strong Swimmer (Live) - Mutual Benefit
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: Joey Ferguson
*In my opinion this is their best tune. I learned by ear the live version from the spotify sessions.
I noticed that this is usually played an octave above than written here, however if playing solo and or
acoustically it sounds better to play at this octave. Have fun.

Intro: C Am (repeat)
C Am (repeat)
You were such....
a strong swimmer
and you
F Dm (repeat)
taught me how
to never fear those
C Am (repeat)
tall waves
and you stayed
in those deep waters
always
F Dm (repeat)
inviting
to a bed on the
C Am (repeat)
bottom
and that
F (repeat)
current took you away and it
Dm (repeat)
made you pay and pay
C Am (repeat)
when I saw you I didn't know your name
it was such
a long winter
when the ice had thawed
there wasn't much that survived it
it takes more
than a strong swimmer
to stay above water
with a body divided
and that current took you away
and it made you pay and pay
when I saw you
I didn't know your name
when I see you
they'll give us different names
