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
