Canajoharie

E	B	A
In the	overgrowth, of the	underbrush

	Am/C
Shown a fossil	tooth which I must have dropped

E/B	B	A	F	B
very long ago	which reminded me	how we wound up where we are	now

E	B	A
Right through those	trees, I’m not	insane

	Am/C
That’s where we	came into this place

E/B	B
and if you	squint, if you squint your brain

A	F	B
I’ll take my paints and	try to	paint

E	B/D#
	Canajoharie

A/C#	E/B
Canajoharie

	F#m	A
Where a front	flipper first evolved on the	day

	F#m	B
When a daring	mudskipper dragged itself	away

	E	B/D#
Out of		Canajoharie

A/C#	E/B
Canajoharie

	F#m	A
Call me	sentimental but I want to go	back

	F#m	B
And commemorate the	place with a historical	plaque

E	B	A
It’s as if a	fin, reaching from the	swamp

	Am/C
Grabbed me by my	arm, tried to pull me in

E/B	B
But my arm was	strong

	A	F	B
And the fin was an	inaccurately reconstructed	fake

E	B	A
It was right through those	trees, I’m not	insane

	Am/C
That’s where the	fin tried to drag me in

E/B	B
Don’t look at me,	look at where I’m pointing

A	F	B
Close your eyes, see what	I see

E	B/D#
	Canajoharie

A/C#	E/B
Canajoharie

	F#m	A
I get the creeping	feeling all my old friends are	gone

	F#m	B
And that this baby	tooth no longer fits in my	skull

G	Am	C	Am	C	Am	D	B/D#	B

E	B	A
If you can	draw it in the	air

	Am/C
Or write it	down, then you weren’t there

E/B

What’s gone is mute

B

Someone changed the truth

A

They smoked the proof

	F	B
And there’s	nothing left	of

E	B/D#
	Canajoharie

A/C#	E/B
Canajoharie

	F#m	A
Where a front	flipper first evolved on the	day

	F#m	B
When a daring	mudskipper dragged itself	away

	F#m	B
Where a rocket	ship experiment went	awry

	F#m	B
When the	prototype exploded on the launching	site

	E	B/D#
Back in		Canajoharie

A/C#	E/B
Canajoharie

	F#m	A
Call me	sentimental but I want to go	back

	F#m	B
And commemorate the	place with a historical	plaque
