They Covered Up The Old Swimmin Hole Chords

(ver. 1)
Bobby Bare
[Intro]
D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D                               G           D
Boring through the mountains by-passing the towns
     G     D       E7         A7
Interstate 90 is a sight to behold
         D                        G           D
But that monument to progress and engineering skill
            G          A        D
Has covered up the old swimmin' hole
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                                      G        D
Thirty feet straight up from where the old hole stood
                 G        D        E7              A7
They sell twenty kinds of icecream and the food is good
       D                          G            D
But it never can compare with the food for the soul
              G                A            D
You could get for a dip in the old swimmin' hole
 
 
[Chorus]
       G                          D
Oh the old swimmin' hole her cool waters ran deep
          G    D        E7         A7
Felt good to a boy with mud on his feet
        D                          G           D
And I'm wishing these days I could strip to my soul
       G     D          A            D
And go for a dip in the old swimmin' hole
 
 
[Harmonica Solo]
D   G D  A  D
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                                  G    D       G     D     E7              A7
A symbol of our great and affluent society Interstate 90 fulfillment of our goals
         D                    G      D              G          A        D
But that masterpiece of human ingenuity has covered up the old swimmin' hole
 
 
[Verse 4]
D                               G           D
Gone the wooden schoolhouse the old country store
       G         D           E7         A7
The winding dirt road that's winding no more
        D                           G                 D
And the old swimmin' hole hears the sound of speeding wheels
           G       D          A            D
Entombed beneath a blanket of concrete and steel
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
       G                          D
Oh the old swimmin' hole her cool waters ran deep
          G    D        E7         A7
Felt good to a boy with mud on his feet
        D                          G           D
And I'm wishing these days I could strip to my soul
       G     D          A             D
And go for a dip in the old swimmin' hole
