UNDER THE BRIDGE
Recorded by Merle Haggard
Written by Merle Haggard/T.T.Lane

CAPO 1ST FRET:  KEY:Eb  PLAY:D

D
I lost my job in Saginaw
G
Working on the railroad
        D
After twenty years
          Bbm            E7  A7
They just put me on the side
         D
Now I'm hungry in the street
      G                   Gm
With no place to hang my hat
     D             A7              D
And nothin' but an empty dream to ride

But,
[CHORUS]:
D
Under the bridge
                        D7          G
I can make believe I'm living in a castle
            D   Bb7           E7 A7
Under the bridge, my baby and me
    D                  D7
And I can pretend that I'm a king
G                Gm
  And this is my kingdom
            D   A7          D
Under the bridge, making beleive


[INSTRUMENTAL]

          D
Hey, the doors are always open
G
To any old weary traveller
            D
And you'll find some great grub
         Bbm    E7 A7
Feedin' here below
D                       D7
Any old bridge can be a palace
G                   Gm
  Call it what you wan't to
         D                   A7             D
It's a place to be when you got no place to go

[CHORUS]
