Beaver Creek Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Bee[G]n a[A][D][G][A]
[D]long time
since [A]I've been skinny dip[F#m]pin'
I [Bm]laid on the creek bank [A]all day fishin'
Just to [G]watchin' the treetops bend
[Bm]When the summer wind would[Em] blow[Asus4]
[A]It's been a l[D]ong time since
I had [A]muddy feet
[F#m]I stoo[Bm]d half -naked in
the [A]summer heat
[Asus4]And watch[G]ed Johnny Jacob
drink three RCs in a [Em]row[A]
But from [G]the way it looks,
things have [F#m]really changed
To [Em]highway signs [A]and supermar[D]ket chains
I [Esus4]can't believe this is whe[E]re me
and Johnny used to [Asus4]play[A]
[D]Look what they've done to Beaver [A]Creek
Fish have all died,
the stream's dried up
and it's [G]hardly ankle [D]deep
And all that's left is what I recall
in my [G]childhood [D]memory
Look what they've [A]done to
Beaver [D]Creek[G][A][D][G]
Used to [D]build new rabbit
boxes [A]every year
[F#m]It's b[Bm]een a long time since
[A]rabbits were here
The [G]factory on the edge of the [Bm]hill
drove them out of the [Em]woods
[A]The old che[D]stnut tree on
[F#m]the edge of the bank
They [Bm]cut it down building
that [A]sewage tank
[G]I couldn't let it stand in
the [Bm]way of p[Em]ro gress
[A]I g[Asus4]uess my generat[G]ion has seen the l[F#m]ast
Of [Em]mountain stream[A]s and
[D]crooked dirt paths
The [Em]kind where me [Esus4]and Johnny Jacob[E]
used to run and [Asus4]laugh[A]
[D]Look what they've done to Beaver Creek
[A]The fish have all died,
the stream's dried up
and it's [G]hardly ankle deep
[D]And all that's left is what I recall
in my [G]childhood memories
[D]Look what they've [A]done
to Beaver [D]Creek[G]
[Em]Look[D] what they've
[A]done to Beaver Creek
[D]Loo[G]k wha[Em]t th[D]ey've
[A]done to Beaver Creek
[D][G][Em][D][A]
