C
I lost my job in Saginaw

F
Working on the railroad

        C
After twenty years

          G#m            C7  G7
They just put me on the side

         C
Now I'm hungry in the street

      F                   Fm
With no place to hang my hat

     C             G7              C
And nothin' but an empty dream to ride

But, [CHORUS]:

C
Under the bridge

                        C7          F
I can make believe I'm living in a castle

            C   G#7           C7 G7
Under the bridge, my baby and me

    C                  C7
And I can pretend that I'm a king

F                Fm
  And this is my kingdom

            C   G7          C
Under the bridge, making beleive

[INSTRUMENTAL]

          C
Hey, the doors are always open

F
To any old weary traveller

            C
And you'll find some great grub

         G#m    C7 G7
Feedin' here below

C                       C7
Any old bridge can be a palace

F                   Fm
  Call it what you wan't to

         C                   G7             C
It's a place to be when you got no place to go
