 Let me know if the placeholder (-) or separator (|) is confusing/out of place.
 I'm trying to keep things so people know where measures/chords are.
 
 Intro (four times):
 G - C D 
     
 
 G - C D | G - C
 When I was five
 D | G - C D
 We'd get up at four
 G - C D | G - C D
 And drive on down to the Cornwall shore
 Am                       D   
 Our holidays had come at last
 Am                             D    
 They came real slow and went by fast
 G - C D | G - C D
 Just one week, that's all we had
 G - C D | G - C D
 Then back to work went mom and dad
 Am D G - C D | G - C D
 Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
 
 G - C D | G - C D
 The seagulls yell
        G      -    C D 
 You're getting near
 G - C D | G - C D
 We'd waited patiently all year
 Am                         D        
 And we hadn't slept a wink all night
 Am                         D    
 White faces in the morning light
 G - C D | G - C D
 I see the sea my sister cried
 G - C D | G - C D
 The seaside we'd soon be beside
 Am D G - C D | G - C D
 Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
 
 G - C D | G - C
 Down to the sand
 D | G - C D
 With our bucket and our spade
 G - C D | G - C D
 Behind our yellow wind barricade
 Am                      D   
 We'd bury dad up to his chin
 Am                           D       
 On with our trunks we'd jump right in
 G - C D | G - C D
 'Round our waist a rubber ring
 G - C D | G - C D
 And on each arm a water wing
 Am D G - C D | G - C D
 Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
 
 C       G   
 It's so cold
     Am      G  
 And rainin' too
      C        G  
 We'd stay all day
          Am          D   
 Till our lips turned blue
 C      G   
 Only a week
 Am        G   
 It wasn't fair
 
          Am  D    Am  D    Am  D  
 We're on holiday, holiday, holiday
 G - C D | G - C D
 And we don't care!
 
 (solo)
 (six times)
     G - C D 
 (solo end)
 
 G - C D | G - C
 In every pool
 D | G - C D
 Stranded by the tide
 G - C D | G - C D
 Clams and fishes under seaweed hide
 Am                               D  
 We'd catch them all in a fishing net
 Am                               D   
 As close to heaven as a kid could get
 G - C D | G - C D
 We'd dream of smugglers and pirate ships
 G - C D | G - C D
 Lunch was ice cream and a bag of chips
 Am         D                   
 Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
 
 G - C D | G - C D
 Now to kid of five
      G      -   C D 
 That rocky shore
 G - C D | G - C D
 Was a magical place full of tales and lore
 Am                                 D 
 Now the seagulls call once more to me
 Am                              D  
 Hey come on back to the Cornish Sea
 G - C D | G - C D
 Now by the water by the foam
 G - C D | G - C D
 Just one more week and I'm going home
 Am         D 
 Happy to be
 Am         D 
 Happy to be
 Am         D                G  - C D 
 Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
 
 G - C D
