Another fantastatic song from Sir Elton John! Enjoy ... [Verse 1]
C                            F
I've seen the bridge and the bridge is long

         G                      F
And they built it high and they built it strong

         Am               F
Strong enough to hold the weight of time

       C                     G
Long enough to leave some of us behind
[Chorus]
          Am               F
And every one of us has to face that day

       G                          Em7
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away

          F                   Fm
And every one of us that ever came to play

       C                   G    C
Has to cross the bridge or fade away
[Verse 2]
         C                     F
Standing on the bridge looking at the waves

        G                F
Seen so many jump, never seen one saved

     Am                 F
On a distant beach your song can die

     C                 G
On a bitter wind, on a cruel tide
[Chorus]
          Am               F
And every one of us has to face that day

       G                          Em7
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away

          F                   Fm
And every one of us that ever came to play

       C                   G    C
Has to cross the bridge or fade away
[Verse 3]
F                 Am
And the bridge it shines

F            Am
Oh cold hard iron

       F
Saying come and risk it all

       C  G
Or die trying
[Chorus]
          Am               F
And every one of us has to face that day

       G                          Em7
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away

          F                   Fm
And every one of us that ever came to play

       C                   G    C
Has to cross the bridge or fade away
