I play the Dadd9 as a Dadd9/11 which is fingered like a C but two frets up.
So you just slide your hand up after the C.
[Verse 1]
This Gsummer I went swimming
This Dsummer I might have Emdrowned
But I Cheld my breath and I Emkicked my feet
And I Cmoved Dadd9my arms Emaround
I Cmoved my Dadd9arms aGround
[Verse 2]
This Gsummer I swam in the ocean
And I Dswam in a swimming Empool
SCalt my wounds, chloriEmne my eyes
I'm a Cself-dDadd9estructive Emfool
I'm a Cself-dDadd9estructive Gfool
[Verse 3]
This Gsummer I swam in a public place
And a Dreservoir, to Emboot
At the Clatter I was Eminformal
At the Cformer I Dadd9wore my Emsuit
I Cwore my Dadd9swimming Gsuit
[Verse 4]
This Gsummer I did the backstroke
And you Dknow that that's not Emall
I did the Cbreast stroke and the Embutterfly
And the Cold Dadd9Australian Emcrawl
The Cold Dadd9Australian Gcrawl
[Verse 5]
This Gsummer I did swan dives
And Djackknifes for you Emall
And Conce when you weren't Emlooking
I Cdid a Dadd9cannonEmball
I Cdid a Dadd9cannonGball
[Verse 6]
This Gsummer I went swimming
This Dsummer I might have Emdrowned
But I Cheld my breath and I Emkicked my feet
And I Cmoved myDadd9 arms Emaround
I Cmoved myDadd9 arms Garound
