Oh Susquehanna Tab

by Defiance Ohio


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

Chords used:
  

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

                                                
We walk the paths of the banks of the mighty Susquehanna
         
With our feet made muddy by your tributaries
      
That trickle their way to the Chesapeake
                    
It's like we follow I-83 down to the harbor cities

Strip malls and the tar-mac

People swirling and teaming

It seemed so exciting, but now it seems like such a blight

  

  

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

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


Oh!

Susquehanna (repeat this four times)

  

  


      
And I miss that place behind my house where I

Hiked and climbed and played
                                       
Where I'd ditch this noisy century or just

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

Out of this boring neighborhood


Oh!

Susquehanna (x4)

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

It's a great song! Buy the album.
