     Freezing rain,          and ice pellets
     Walking home,           I’m covered in it
     Walking home,           all along the tracks
     Secret path,            did you say secret pa...         

[Chorus 1]

F# B   E 
a--th?
B    E     B       E
Pale blue, doesn’t do what they
 B        E                   B  E
Said it’d do, it’s just a jacket
         B E                     B  E
It’s a windbreaker, it’s not a jean jacket, it’s
               B   E
They call it a windbreaker


[Verse 2]

G|-----------------------|-----------3---1-------|
D|-----------------------|-----------------------| x4
A|-----------------------|-----------------------|
E|---0-0-0---0---0---0---|---0-0-0---0---0---0---|

     Walking home,           all along the tracks
     Secret path,            he said secret path
     I am soaked,            --- to the skin
     There’s never been,     a colder rain that this one 


[Chorus 2]

F#  B   E
I’m in
B    E     B       E
Pale blue, doesn’t do what they
 B        E               B      E
Said it’d do, it’s not my jacket
         B E                      B  E
It’s a windbreaker, it’s not my jean jacket, it’s
       B   E
Just a windbreaker


[Bridge]

        F#       E       F#       E
And the fuck-off rocks, along the tracks
F#     E                F#     E     B
Secret path, there’s no secret path


[Verse 3]

e|----------4---------------|-------2---------------|

G|--------------------------|-----------3---1-------|
D|--------------------------|-----------------------| x2
A|--------------------------|-----------------------|
E|------0-0-0---0---0---0---|---0-0-0---0---0---0---|

And the freezing rain,          and the ice pellets
        Coat the rail,          so I can’t even tightrope it
   
End with B-chord

Swing Set Chords by Gordon Downie

Capo 3rd fret


[Pre-Verse]
  
E
We were at the swing set
E
“Now?” I asked, “not yet” you said


[Verse 1]

E                             A
Turnin’ round and round in my seat
E                   A
Chains chiming over my head
E                      A
When the tension is complete
E                       A
And there is no way out of it


[Chorus 1]

Fm A     Fm A
Now, not yet
Fm A     Fm A
Now, not yet


[Verse 2]

E                     A
Over the rise, on the lawn
E                A
Someone draggin’ someone
E                       A
A kid lookin’ me in the eye
E                      A
Teacher not lookin’ at anyone


[Chorus 2]

Fm A     Fm A
Now, now yes
Fm A     Fm A
Now, now yes


[Interlude]

E  A  Fm


[Verse 3]

E                       A
I looked behind me only once 
E                    A
Didn’t see nobody chasin’ us
E                            A
Just my swing dancin’ in the sun
E                    A
Dancin’ wildly where it was


[Chorus 3]

Fm A     Fm A
Now, now yes
Fm A     Fm A
Now, now yes
Fm A     Fm A
     Now yes
Fm A     Fm A
     Now yes
Fm A     Fm A
     Now yes
Fm A     Fm A  E
     Now yes
