CUYAHOGA (Version 1)
There are two ways to play the intro riff. The more accurate way is to tune
your low E string down to D. If you want to be able to play normal chord
shapes, though, this way is better:
G(3) --2------2----|
D(4) 0-----0-----0-|
A(5) |--5-----5-5-----|--2-------2-----|--5-5---5-5-----|
E(6) |3-----3-----3---|0-----0-------0-|3-----3-----3---|
D G Em G (repeat throughout verse)
Let's put our heads together and start a new country up
Our father's father's father tried, 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 Em F#m
This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Em Bm Em D
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
D G Em G (repeat throughout verse)
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, underneath the river bed
(see below...)
This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
Cuyahoga D - Em -/G - Bm -/D D D D/ Asus4 A A2 A

D G Em G (repeat throughout verse)
Let's put our heads together, start a new country up,
Underneath the river bed we burned the river down.
This is where they walked, swam, hunted, danced and sang,
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Bm F#m G
Rewrite the book and rule the pages, saving face, secured in faith
Bm F#m G
Bury, burn the waste behind you
(intro riff)
D G Em G (repeat throughout verse)
This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We are not your allies, we can not defend
This is where they walked, this is where they swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir

Lyrics:
Let's put our heads together and start a new country up
Our father's father's father tried, 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
This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, 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, underneath the river bed
This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Let's put our heads together, start a new country up,
Underneath the river bed we burned the river down.
This is where they walked, swam, hunted, danced and sang,
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
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 can not defend
This is where they walked, this is where they swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
