D
Queen Elizabeth Park
Where my mood's always stark
          E                  A                   D
And those damned ole bridges are always under construction
D
Up about the Hudson Bay
          G                     D
Where the water-treatment plant stays
        E                     A                  D
And the boys in the breakroom play with the microwave
G                 D
Who's in the hospital
    E             G            D
But Alan from the sports track he's been riddled
G                 D
Who's in the orphanage
        E             G      A
But the future son-in-law of Billy Higgins

Bm       A          G  D
Grinding axe in the Adirondacks
Bm       A          G  D
Grinding axe on the Adirondacks
G
Adirondacks
Adirondacks

D
What about the carpet plant
           G             D
Where your sister is a giant
    E               A                  D
She runs that thing tighter than the QE2
D
What about Dawson Bridge
      G            D
Where suicide is a cinch
  E                    A            D
Nobody in the city can even see you fall
G                     D
Who's in the shopping center
E                  G          D
But those thrifty twits from across the river
G                      D
Who works at the flour mill
E              G               A
But a bunch of Russians eating three square meals

Bm       A          G  D
Grinding axe in the Adirondacks
Bm       A          G  D
Grinding axe on the Adirondacks
G
Adirondacks
Adirondacks

D
There in the stadium
          G                             D
Where you go to watch your daughter and son
E                 A            D
Getting dirty and getting acclimated
D
There is the radio tower
       G                     D
It's a billion watts of pure power
     E                    A                     D
If I stray off that way I always end up getting wasted
G                         D
Who hangs out at Richmond Park
      E             G            D
But a bunch of cute boys wearing argyle socks
G                        D
Who hangs at the skating rink
      E               G           A
But a doctor from the college who knows how to wink

Bm       A          G  D
Grinding axe in the Adirondacks
Bm       A          G  D
Grinding axe on the Adirondacks
G
Adirondacks
Adirondacks

D

G
Adirondacks
Adirondacks
