Queensrÿche – Bridge (Ukulele)

-------------------------------------------------------------------- Song: Bridge Artist: Queensryche ------------------------------------------------------------------- By: Steven Smigiel I put stuff out there for a guy playing solo acoustic guitar. I like open chords for the bass & resonation. I'll always give the lyrics and enough tab to get you going. I'm sure all the chords have more technical names but when I'm playing I use this for a reference. -Steve I tune to standard 440 but one fret lower. So E is Eb etc. E A D G B E The * is just sliding your finger down a fret for the bass line note then back to the chord shape Chord Shapes:

   Bm(intro*)   A A*    G G*   Bm   D   C C*  Em  F#m(barre) F#
e|--2-----------0-0-----0-0----0----2---3-3----0---2----------0--|

Tab
The Bm** is another chord where you pull off 
and on with the pinky. This repeats continuously 
through the verses.

[Bm intro*] You called me up on the phone today Struggling with the right words to say Time can change a thing or two Time has changed the lives of me and you

But you know [A][A*][A] [G][G*][G] 
it could have been [Bm] different dad

[Bm**] The word brings back a sweet memory I'm sitting on a bluff on a broken tree By my side a distinguished man Giving me encouragement, telling me I can

And you know [A][A*][A] [G][G*][G]
You're not there

[D] You say Son let's forget the past I want another chance, gonna make it last You're begging me for a brand new start Trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart,

But you know [C][C*][C] [G][G*][G] 
You never [Bm] built it dad

(a nice slide down the E string into the chord works well here) [Em] And so I sit here through the [F#m] night, And I write myself to [G] sleep, And time keeps ticking [Bm][Bm**][Bm] [A][A*][A] [G][G*][G] [Bm][Bm**][Bm] [G][G*][G] [F#] [Bm][Bm**][Bm] [Bm**] Time has made you finally realize Your loneliness and your guilt inside You're reaching for something you never had Turning around now you're looking back And you know [A][A*][A] [G][G*][G] I'm not there [D] You say "Son, let's forget the past I want another chance, gonna make it last" You're begging me for a brand new start, Trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart, But you know [C][C*][C] [G][G*][G] You never [B] built it dad. You never [A] built it dad. You never [G] built it dad. You never [F#] built it dad. You never [Em] built it dad. [Bm] --This reminds me of Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin. If you listen to it you'll se what I'm getting at. Good luck. Peace. Steven
