The Bridge

I've (D)seen the bridge, and the (Em)bridge is long.

And they (A)built it high,

and they (G)built it strong,

strong (Bm)enough to hold the (Em)weight of time,

long (D)enough to leave some of (A)us behind.

And ev'ry (Bm)one of us has to face that day;

do you (A)cross the bridge, or do you (F#m)fade away?

And ev'ry (G)one of us that ever (Gm)came to play has to (D)cross the bridge or (A)fade away.

(Em)Standing (D)on the bridge looking (Em)at the waves,

seen so (A)many jump;

never (G)seen one saved.

On a (Bm)distant beach, your (Em)song can die on a (D)bitter wind,

on a (A)cruel tide.

And ev'ry (Bm)one of us has to face that day;

do you (A)cross the bridge, or do you (F#m)fade away?

And ev'ry (G)one of us that ever (Gm)came to play has to (D)cross the bridge or (A)fade away.

(Em)Standing

(D)And the (G)bridge,

it shines, (Bm)all (G)cold hard iron,

(Bm)saying, (Em7)"Come and risk it all

or die (D)(A)trying."

(D)And ev'ry (Bm)one of us has to (Em7)face that day;

do you (A)cross the bridge, or do you (F#m)fade away?

And ev'ry (G)one of us that ever (Gm)came to play has to (D)cross the bridge or (A)fade away,

has to (D)cross the bridge or (A)fade away.
