Tuning: E A D G B E

Listen to the song for strumming pattern, silences etc. First tab so there are definitely errors, but it's better than some of the other chord charts I've seen on here for this song I Wish Somebody Would Build A Bridge - Thirsty Merc Verse 1:

^AbMunching on a ham and cheese sando in the morning on Fr^F#iday Cruising down the Pacific Hi^Fmghway Thinking 'bout the day ^Ebahead

^AbI paid the rent cheque, got my registration and ^F#phone bill If those two don't overthrow me the ^Fmdogs will But heck at least I know the taste of^Eb bread

^AbWhy do I seem to spend my whole damn life chasing p^F#aper? I'm like an actor turned singer turned w^Fmaiter I'll wait ^Bbmaround until I meet with my ^Ebmaker

Then I'll sign up for AA or something

^AbI just wish there was some other way to get myself som^F#ewhere This little strip of earth and all that I've ^Fmdone there I'm like a ^Bbmbull-ant on the leg of a ^Ebsunchair

Under a magnifying glass Chorus:

I ^Abwish somebody would bu^Cild a br^Fmidge So I can g^Eet over mys^Abelf On my own I'm wa^Csting my t^Fmime ^C# ^Eb

Verse 2:

^AbI take a phonecall on the mobile while I'm checking the ^F#meter One sec I need to turn up that little sp^Fmeaker It's getting noisy in this littl^Ebe town

^AbWe're like America we love to make a ho-har out of jac^F#k shit I never ever really seemed t^Fmo fit But now I'm stuck so deep in all of^Eb this

^AbCome to think of it I might as well be travelling back^F#wards It's been an hour and I'm only in Cha^Fmtswood I hate the ^Bbmway that I'm becoming a ^Ebproduct

Go pick me up for $24.95

^AbI'm on sale and it's retail in the world of dece^F#ption You can treat a man if he can't get ere^Fmctions Is there a ^Bbmpill for my lack of dire^Ebction?

Thanks mate, I'll have a pack of those Chorus:

I ^Abwish somebody would b^Cuild a br^Fmidge So I can g^Eet over mys^Abelf On my own I'm wa^Csting my t^Fmime ^C# ^Eb I ^Abwish somebody would bu^Cild a br^Fmidge So I can g^Eet over mys^Abelf On my own I'm lo^Csing my ^Fmmind ^C# ^Eb

Verse 3:

^AbIt's all good I got a broom and a cheap persian ^F#rug now I can sweep the whole thing outta my s^Fmight now Outta sight, outta^Eb mind

^AbI'll keep on going until I'm pushing 30 ^F#or 40 And as long as I don't do something n^Fmaughty I love my wife, what a^Eb life

^AbShe comes home to find me spread on the floor from blood p^F#oisoning I popped a whole lot of pills and I'm sh^Fmaking And there's a n^Bbmeedle sticking out of my ^Ebarm, I ain't faking I'm zoning in I'm zoning out

^AbYou wanna help me, don't call me an ambulance ho^F#ney Just get a silver service cab this is^Fm funny Just one pa^Bbmssenger please, going ^Ebup my own ass

You take credit card? Fuck this! Chorus:

I ^Abwish somebody would bu^Cild a br^Fmidge So I can g^Eet over mys^Abelf On my own I'm wa^Csting my t^Fmime ^C# ^Eb I ^Abwish somebody would bu^Cild a br^Fmidge So I can g^Eet over mys^Abelf On my own I'm lo^Csing my ^Fmmind ^C# ^Eb

I ^Abwish somebody would bu^Cild a br^Fmidge So I can g^Eet over mys^Abelf On my own I'm wa^Csting my t^Fmime... I'm was^C#ting my ^Eblife I ^Abwish somebody would bu^Cild a br^Fmidge So I can g^Eet over mys^Abelf C Fm C# Eb (Ab) *optional to resolve melody On my own I'm losing my mind
