Cmin Bridge (There's really only bass and electric piano here but if you want, the chords are the same as any of the verses.): Cmin A#maj If you catch us coming Fmin Cmin Up about around the bend. Cmin A#maj And if we step a little Fmin Cmin Higher will we find it then. Cmin A#maj There's gotta be something roaming Fmin Cmin up about around the bend.
