Canajoharie
By They Might Be Giants
Transcribed by Duke


E MajorE     BB          A augmentedA
In the overgrowth of the underbrush
        Am/C
Shown a fossil tooth which I must have dropped
E/B     BB         A augmentedA                FF   BB
very long ago which reminded me how we wound up where we are now

E MajorE          BB        A augmentedA
Right through those trees, I'm not insane
         Am/C
That's where we came into this place
E/B      BB
and if you squint, if you squint your brain
A augmentedA            FF    BB
I'll take my paints and try to paint

    E MajorE B/D#B/D#
Canajoharie
    A/C#A/C# E/B
Canajoharie

        F# minorF#m             A augmentedA
Where a front flipper first evolved on the day
         F# minorF#m           BB
When a daring mudskipper dragged itself away

       E MajorE B/D#B/D#
Out of Canajoharie
    A/C#A/C# E/B
Canajoharie

       F# minorF#m           A augmentedA
Call me sentimental but I want to go back
            F# minorF#m          BB
And commemorate the place with a historical plaque

E MajorE       BB           A augmentedA
It's as if a fin, reaching from the swamp
         Am/C
Grabbed me by my arm, tried to pull me in
E/B        BB
But my arm was strong
           A augmentedA             FF   BB
And the fin was an inaccurately reconstructed fake

E MajorE               BB       A augmentedA
It was right through those trees, I'm not insane
         Am/C
That's where the fin tried to drag me in
E/B         BB
Don't look at me, look at where I'm pointing
A augmentedA             FF     BB
Close your eyes, see what I see

    E MajorE B/D#B/D#
Canajoharie
    A/C#A/C# E/B
Canajoharie

          F# minorF#m              A augmentedA
I get the creeping feeling all my old friends are gone
          F# minorF#m             BB
And that this baby tooth no longer fits in my skull

E MajorE      BB       A augmentedA
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
BB
Someone changed the truth
A augmentedA
They smoked the proof
       FF      BB
And there's nothing left of

Where a front flipper first evolved on the day
        F# minorF#m            BB
When a daring mudskipper dragged itself away
        F# minorF#m          BB
Where a rocket ship experiment went awry
        F# minorF#m              BB
When the prototype exploded on the launching site

        E MajorE B/D#B/D#

And commemorate the place with a historical plaque
