^DI lost my job in Saginaw ^GWorking on the railroad After tw^Denty years They just ^Bbmput me on the s^E7ide ^A7 Now I'm h^Dungry in the street With n^Go place to hang my h^Gmat And n^Dothin' but an ^A7empty dream to r^Dide

But, [CHORUS]:

^DUnder the bridge I can make believe I'm l^D7iving in a c^Gastle Under the br^Didge^Bb7, my baby and ^E7me ^A7 And ^DI can pretend that ^D7I'm a king ^G And this is my ^Gmkingdom Under the br^Didge^A7, making bel^Deive

Hey, the d^Doors are always open ^GTo any old weary traveller And you'll f^Dind some great grub Feedin' h^Bbmere bel^E7ow ^A7 ^DAny old bridge can be a ^D7palace ^G Call it what you w^Gman't to It's a pl^Dace to be when you g^A7ot no place to ^Dgo
