VERSE 1
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. D G Let's try to fill it in, Em G bank the quarry river, swim. D G We knee-skinned it you and me; Em G We knee-skinned that river red.
BRIDGE
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.
VERSE 2
D G This land is the land of ours, Em G this river runs red over it. D G We knee-skinned it you and me; Em G we knee-skinned that river red. D G And we gathered up our friends, Em G bank the quarry river, swim. D G We knee-skinned it you and me; Em G underneath the river bed.
BRIDGE
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.

D G Let's put our heads together, Em G start a new country up. D G Underneath the river bed Em G we burned the river down.
