-------------------------------------------------------------------- Song: Bridge Artist: Queensryche ------------------------------------------------------------------- By: Steven Smigiel I put stuff out there for a guy playing solo acoustic guitar. I like open chords for the bass & resonation. I�ll always give the lyrics and enough tab to get you going. I�m sure all the chords have more technical names but when I�m playing I use this for a reference. -Steve I tune to standard 440 but one fret lower. So E is Eb etc. E A D G B E The * is just sliding your finger down a fret for the bass line note then back to the chord shape Chord Shapes: Bm(intro*) A A* G G* Bm D C C* Em F#m(barre) F# e|--2-----------0-0-----0-0----0----2---3-3----0---2----------0--| B|--0-----------0-0-----0-0----0----3---3-3----0---2----------0--| G|--4-----------6-6-----4-4----4----2---0-0----0---2----------3--| D|--4-----------7-7-----5-5----4----0---2-0----2---4----------4--| A|--0-----------7-7-----5-5----2----0---3-2----2---4----------4--| E|--0-----------5(4)----3(2)---0----0---0-0----0---2----------2--| Tab The Bm** is another chord where you pull off and on with the pinky. This repeats continuously through the verses. e|-x----------------| B|-x----------------| G|-------4--0-------| D|-----4------4-----| A|---2--------------| E|-x----------------| [Bm intro*] You called me up on the phone today Struggling with the right words to say Time can change a thing or two Time has changed the lives of me and you But you know [A][A*][A] [G][G*][G] it could have been [Bm] different dad [Bm**] The word brings back a sweet memory I�m sitting on a bluff on a broken tree By my side a distinguished man Giving me encouragement, telling me I can And you know [A][A*][A] [G][G*][G] You�re not there [D] You say Son let�s forget the past I want another chance, gonna make it last You�re begging me for a brand new start Trying to mend a bridge that�s been blown apart, But you know [C][C*][C] [G][G*][G] You never [Bm] built it dad (a nice slide down the E string into the chord works well here) [Em] And so I sit here through the [F#m] night, And I write myself to [G] sleep, And time keeps ticking [Bm][Bm**][Bm] [A][A*][A] [G][G*][G] [Bm][Bm**][Bm] [G][G*][G] [F#] [Bm][Bm**][Bm] [Bm**] Time has made you finally realize Your loneliness and your guilt inside You�re reaching for something you never had Turning around now you�re looking back And you know [A][A*][A] [G][G*][G] I�m not there [D] You say �Son, let�s forget the past I want another chance, gonna make it last� You�re begging me for a brand new start, Trying to mend a bridge that�s been blown apart, But you know [C][C*][C] [G][G*][G] You never [B] built it dad. You never [A] built it dad. You never [G] built it dad. You never [F#] built it dad. You never [Em] built it dad. [Bm] --This reminds me of Cat�s in the Cradle by Harry Chapin. If you listen to it you�ll se what I�m getting at. Good luck. Peace. Steven
