CAPO 1ST FRET:  KEY:Eb  PLAY:D


I lost my job in Saginaw

Working on the railroad
        
After twenty years
                        
They just put me on the side
         
Now I'm hungry in the street
                         
With no place to hang my hat
                                
And nothin' but an empty dream to ride

But,
[CHORUS]:

Under the bridge
                                  
I can make believe I'm living in a castle
                           
Under the bridge, my baby and me
                      
And I can pretend that I'm a king
                
  And this is my kingdom
                         
Under the bridge, making beleive


[INSTRUMENTAL]

          
Hey, the doors are always open

To any old weary traveller
            
And you'll find some great grub
              
Feedin' here below
                       
Any old bridge can be a palace
                   
  Call it what you wan't to
                                         
It's a place to be when you got no place to go

[CHORUS]
