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
D G
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 G
D G
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.
