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

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

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
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

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

Back in Canajoharie

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