R.E.M. - Cuyahoga: chords

       D               G
Let's put our heads together
     Em          G
and start a new country up.
     D                 G
Our father's father's father tried,
  Em                 G
erased the parts he didn't like.

Let's try to fill it in
Bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me
We knee-skinned that river red

Em               Bm
This is where we walked,
Em               F#m
this is where we swam.
Em              Bm
Take a picture here,
Em           D
take a souvenir.

This land is the land of ours
This river runs red over it
We knee-skinned it you and me
We knee-skinned that river red

And we gathered up our friends
Bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me
Up underneath the river bed

This is where we walked
This is where we swam
Take a picture here
Take a souvenir

Chorus:
D   Em   G Bm D A
    Cuyahoga.
D   Em   G Bm     D  Em  G
    Cuyahoga, is gone.

Let's put our heads together
And start a new country up
Up underneath the river bed
We'll burn the river down

This is where they walked, swam
Hunted, danced and sang
Take a picture here
Take a souvenir

Chorus:
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone

Rewrite the book and rule the pages
Saving face, secured in faith
Bury, burn the waste behind you
This land is the land of ours

This river runs red over it
We are not your allies
We cannot defend

This is where they walked
This is where they swam
Take a picture here
Take a souvenir

Chorus:
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone

Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
