Canajoharie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]In the overgrowth
[A]Of the underbrush
[G]Shone a fossil too[Bb]th
Which I must have [D]dropped
Very long [A]ago
Which reminded me
[G]How we wound up where
we are [Eb]now[A][D]

[Verse 2]
Right through those [A]trees
I'm not insane
[G]That's where we cam[Bb]e
Into this [D]place
And if you [A]squint
If you squint your brain
[G]I'll get my paints
And I'll [Eb]try to paint
[A]Canajoharie Canajohar

[Verse 3]
[D]
[A]ie[G][D]
Where a frog [Em]flipper first
evolved on the [G]day
When a [Em]daring
mudskipper dragged itself [A]away

[Verse 4]
Out of Canajoharie [D]Canajohar
[A]ie[G][D]
Call me senti[Em]mental
But I want to go [G]back
And commemorate the [Em]place
With a historical plaque
[A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
It's as if a [A]fin
Reaching from [G]the swamp
Grabbed me by my [Gm]arm
Tried to pull me in
[D]But my arm[A] was strong
And the fin was an
In[G]accurately recon[Gm]structed [Eb]fake[A]

[Verse 6]
It [D]was right through those [A]trees
I'm not insane
[G]That's where the fin
[Bb]Tried to drag me i[Gm]n[D]
Don't look at [A]me
[D]Look at [A]where I'm point[G]ing
Close your eyes
See what [Eb]I see[A]

[Verse 7]
[D]Cana[A]joharie
[G]Canajohar[D]ie
I get the creeping [Em]feeling
All my old friends are [G]gone
And that this baby [Em]tooth

[Interlude 1]
No longer fits in my skull
[A][F][Gm]
[Bb][F][Bb][Gm][Bb][F]
[Gm][C][A][D]

[Verse 8]
If you can [A]draw
It in the [G]air
Or write it [Bb]down
Then [Gm]you weren't t[D]here
What's gone is mute
[A]Som[D]eone cha[A]nged the truth
[G]They swapped the proof
And there's [Eb]nothing left [A]of

[Verse 9]
[D]Canajohar[A]ie
Canajo[G]harie[D]
Where a frog [Em]flipper first
evolved on the [G]day
When a [Em]daring mudskipper dragged
itself [A]away

[Verse 10]
Where a rocket ship [Em]Ex
periment went [A]awry
When the prototype
Ex[Em]ploded on the launching [A]site

[Verse 11]
Like in Cana[D]joharie
[A]Can[G]ajoharie[D]
Call me senti[Em]mental
But I want to go [G]back
And commemorate the [Em]place

[Outro 1]
With a historical plaque
[A][G][Gm][D]
