D G Intro: (Dead strumming, listen to song for rythym, then:)D GD G (again, listen to song for rythym)D G We walk the paths of the banks of the mighty SusquehannaD With our feet made muddy by your tributariesG That trickle their way to the ChesapeakeD It's like we follow I-83 down to the harbor citiesG Strip malls and the tar-macD People swirling and teamingG It seemed so exciting, but now it seems like such a blightD GD GD G I grew up near Kentucky's Mt. Zion RoadD G All that was there was some old cemetaryD G I wanted nothing more than to be able to walk to the storeD Now I don't live there but there's too many storesG Some apartments and a SunocoD G And I wonder what did they do with the bodies?D G And I wonder what did they do with the bodies?D Oh!G Susquehanna (repeat this four times)D GD GD And I miss that place behind my house where IG Hiked and climbed and playedD Where I'd ditch this noisy century or justG Hid out from the decadeD G M-I homes thought it could stand to be updatedD G Forced it all into a grid until it looks like the funny pagesD G With every trace of light that seems confined within a frameD G The faces move from day to day but the strips all look the sameD G And the punchlines are resoundingly unfunnyD G For those trapped in this architecture of easy moneyD G And I feel like this all come to no goodD G This kids who populate these cul-de-sacs will never know what stoodD G Beneath their cookie-cutter houses, fields and streams and woodsD They'll sit in cars and wait for mom to drive themG Out of this boring neighborhoodD Oh!G Susquehanna (x4)D G And I wonder, what did they do with the bodies? (x2)
