Chris de Burgh – The Bridge (Guitar)

           E
They stood on the bridge together

     A                  B
And watched the river flow

         E
And to pledge themselves forever

    F#m               B
A place where lovers go

    A           E
To fix a lock upon the bridge

    B                  C#m
And each would have a key

      A        B     E         C#m
That told of their eternal love

     A       B        E
The way that it must be

     C#m                Abm
And with this key, she said I give

    A                 B
My soul, my love, my heart

    C#m                 Abm
And if the lock should go from here

     A                 B       E
Then I will know that we must part

        E
Oh but soon he had to leave her

         A            B
To be a soldier far away

               E
And she would go down to the cathedral

    F#m             B
And every morning pray

    A                  E
To light a candle for her love

     B               C#m
To bring him safely home

    A       B       E         C#m
But on the day the letter came

      A        B      E
She knew that he was gone

       C#m                Abm
With trembling hands, she opened it

    A                    B
To read the words which said

    C#m              Abm
"It is with deep regret we must

   A                  B             E
Inform you that he's missing, believed dead"

          E
She stood on the bridge at midnight

     A                  B
And watched the river flow

         E
And the lock was in her fingers

          F#m             B
Into the water she would go

    A                E
But in the distance heard a voice

 B               C#m
Calling out her name

    A      B      E        C#m
And as he ran to her, she fell

A      B      E
In his arms again

     C#m             Abm
And with this key I gave, he said

    A                 B
My soul, my love, my heart

      C#m           Abm
And when I saw the lock was gone

    A                 B       E
I knew that we could never be apart

 B             E
We will never part...
