UNDER THE BRIDGE
Recorded by Merle Haggard
Written by Merle Haggard/T.T.Lane
CAPO 1ST FRET: KEY:Eb PLAY:D
D
I lost my job in Saginaw
G
Working on the railroad
D
After twenty years
Bbm E7 A7
They just put me on the side
D
Now I’m hungry in the street
G Gm
With no place to hang my hat
D A7 D
And nothin’ but an empty dream to ride
But,
[CHORUS]:
D
Under the bridge
D7 G
I can make believe I’m living in a castle
D Bb7 E7 A7
Under the bridge, my baby and me
D D7
And I can pretend that I’m a king
G Gm
And this is my kingdom
D A7 D
Under the bridge, making beleive
[INSTRUMENTAL]
D
Hey, the doors are always open
G
To any old weary traveller
D
And you’ll find some great grub
Bbm E7 A7
Feedin’ here below
D D7
Any old bridge can be a palace
G Gm
Call it what you wan’t to
D A7 D
It’s a place to be when you got no place to go
[CHORUS]
