Well, after three versions of this song, no one has quite got it spot-on yet. While Version 2 had the right idea, they failed (as everyone else did) to realize there is a varied chord progression midway through the verse, as you'll see here. Chords used: C F Am Intro: (mute the strings and strum the rhythm) C F C F C F We walk up the paths of the banks of the mighty Susquehanna C With our feet made muddy by your tributaries F That trickle their way to the Chesapeake Am It's like we follow I-83 down to the harbor cities C Strip malls and the tar-mac Am People swirling and teaming C It seemed so exciting, but now it seems like such a blight C F C F C F I grew up near Kentucky's Mt. Zion Road C F All that was there was some old cemetary Am C I wanted nothing more than to be able to walk to the store Am Now I don't live there but there's too many stores C Some apartments and a Sunoco C F And I wonder what did they do with the bodies? C F And I wonder what did they do with the bodies? C Oh! F Susquehanna (x4) C F C F C And I miss that place behind my house where I F Hiked and climbed and played C Where I'd ditch this noisy century or just F Hid out from the decade Am C M-I homes thought it could stand to be updated Am C Forced it all into a grid until it looks like the funny pages C F With every trace of light that seems confined within a frame C F The faces move from day to day but the strips all look the same Am C And the punchlines are resoundingly unfunny Am C For those trapped in this architecture of easy money C F And I feel like this all come to no good C F This kids who populate these cul-de-sacs will never know what stood Am C Beneath their cookie-cutter houses, fields and streams and woods Am They'll sit in cars and wait for mom to drive them C Out of this boring neighborhood C Oh! F Susquehanna (x4) C F And I wonder, what did they do with the bodies? (x2)
