Elton John - The Bridge

another fantastatic song from sir elton john!
enjoy . . .

capo 1

C F
i’ve seen the bridge and the bridge is long
G F
and they built it high and they built it strong
Am F
strong enough to hold the weight of time
C G
long enough to leave some of us behind

chorus :
Am F
and every one of us has to face that day
G Em
do you cross the bridge or do you fade away
F Fm
and every one of us that ever came to play
C F Am
has to cross the bridge or fade away

C F
standing on the bridge looking at the waves
G F
seen so many jump , never seen one saved
Am F
on a distant beach your song can die
C G
on a bitter wind , on a cruel tide

[ repeat chorus ]

F Am
and the bridge it shines
F Am
oh cold hard iron
F
saying come and risk it all
Em – G
or die trying
