Brothers Under The Bridge chords by Bruce Springsteen

Intro: D

 D
Saigon, it was all gone

   G
The same Coke machines

      D
As the streets I grew on

Down in a mesquite canyon
We come walking along the ridge
       G    Bm   A      D
Me and the brothers under the bridge

  D
Campsite's an hour's walk from the nearest road to town

              G
Up here there's too much brush and canyon

           D
For the CHP choppers to touch down

Ain't lookin' for nothin', just wanna live
        G    Bm   A     D
Me and the brothers under the bridge

  D
Come the Santa Ana's, man, that dry brush'll light

     G
Billy Devon got burned up in his own campfire one winter night

   D
We buried his body in the white stone high up along the ridge

        G    Bm   A     D
Me and the brothers under the bridge

    Bm            G
Had enough of town and the street life

     D                A
Over nothing you end up on the wrong end of someone's knife

       D
Now I don't want no trouble

And I ain't got none to give
        G    Bm   A     D
Me and the brothers under the bridge

   D
I come home in '72

          G
You were just a beautiul light

            D
In your mama's dark eyes of blue

I stood down on the tarmac, I was just a kid
        G    Bm   A     D
Me and the brothers under the bridge

     D
Come Veterans' Day I sat in the stands in my dress blues

        G
I held your mother's hand

                 D
When they passed with the red, white and blue

One minute your'e out there
And something slips

Outro: G Bm A D
