Oh Susquehanna

• D

I'm not sure why no one's tabbed it, the rythym guitar in it is very easy.

Chords used:
D  G

Intro:
(Dead strumming, listen to song for rythym, then:)
D  G
D  G
(again, listen to song for rythym)

D                                                G
We walk the paths of the banks of the mighty Susquehanna
         D
With our feet made muddy by your tributaries
      G
That trickle their way to the Chesapeake
                    D
It's like we follow I-83 down to the harbor cities
G
Strip malls and the tar-mac
D
People swirling and teaming
G
It seemed so exciting, but now it seems like such a blight

D                             G
I grew up near Kentucky's Mt. Zion Road
D                                   G
All that was there was some old cemetary
         D                                           G
I wanted nothing more than to be able to walk to the store
    D
Now I don't live there but there's too many stores
     G
Some apartments and a Sunoco

           D                           G
And I wonder what did they do with the bodies?
           D                           G
And I wonder what did they do with the bodies?

D
Oh!
G
Susquehanna (repeat this four times)

      D
And I miss that place behind my house where I
G
Hiked and climbed and played
          D                             
Where I'd ditch this noisy century or just
G
Hid out from the decade
    D                                    G
M-I homes thought it could stand to be updated
                 D                                      G
Forced it all into a grid until it looks like the funny pages
D                                        G
With every trace of light that seems confined within a frame
    D                                  G
The faces move from day to day but the strips all look the same
        D                             G
And the punchlines are resoundingly unfunny
                  D                              G
For those trapped in this architecture of easy money
      D                             G
And I feel like this all come to no good
              D                               G
This kids who populate these cul-de-sacs will never know what stood
              D                     G
Beneath their cookie-cutter houses, fields and streams and woods
               D
They'll sit in cars and wait for mom to drive them
G
Out of this boring neighborhood

D
Oh!
G
Susquehanna (x4)

          D                                G
And I wonder, what did they do with the bodies? (x2)

It's a great song! Buy the album.
