^CI lost my job in Saginaw ^FWorking on the railroad After tw^Centy years They just ^G#mput me on the s^C7ide ^G7 Now I'm h^Cungry in the street With n^Fo place to hang my h^Fmat And n^Cothin' but an ^G7empty dream to r^Cide

But, [CHORUS]:

^CUnder the bridge I can make believe I'm l^C7iving in a c^Fastle Under the br^Cidge^G#7, my baby and ^C7me ^G7 And ^CI can pretend that ^C7I'm a king ^F And this is my ^Fmkingdom Under the br^Cidge^G7, making bel^Ceive

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Hey, the d^Coors are always open ^FTo any old weary traveller And you'll f^Cind some great grub Feedin' h^G#mere bel^C7ow ^G7 ^CAny old bridge can be a ^C7palace ^F Call it what you w^Fman't to It's a pl^Cace to be when you g^G7ot no place to ^Cgo

[CHORUS] Thanks for help on the lyrics to: ah827@rgfn.epcc.Edu (Gene L. Graham)
