bummer
On the yellow line on foggy days the river's all you see
Riding down to Alexandria from Archives in DC

Away, I'm bound away
E7 F Fm C
Across the wide old Tappan Zee
Lee he couldn't cross the Susquehanna, though he tried
When the Army of the Potomac caught him, 50,000 died
I wish that I could cross the Susquehanna now
I'd march on New York City
We crossed the Delaware at Wilmington on Christmas Eve
Darkened waters down below us, polytetrafluoroethylene
I wish I'd gotten drunk before this bus ride
Forgetting is a river
Away, I'm bound away
300 miles of road that keep me from the pillow where you lay
Away, I'm bound away
Across the wide old Tappan Zee
F C E7
Carry me across the water
I know the time is right
Carry me across the Hudson
To Jerusalem tonight
Away, I'm bound away
Away, I'm bound away
Away, I'm bound away
Away, I'm bound away
Away, I'm bound away
Away, I'm bound away
Away, I'm bound away
Across the wide old Tappan Zee
