Brothers Under The Bridge chords by Bruce Springsteen

Chords with lyrics

Intro: D MajorD

 D MajorD
Saigon, it was all gone

   G+G
The same Coke machines

      D MajorD
As the streets I grew on

Down in a mesquite canyon
We come walking along the ridge
       G+G    B minorBm   A augmentedA      D MajorD
Me and the brothers under the bridge

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

              G+G
Up here there's too much brush and canyon

           D MajorD
For the CHP choppers to touch down

Ain't lookin' for nothin', just wanna live
        G+G    B minorBm   A augmentedA     D MajorD
Me and the brothers under the bridge

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

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

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

        G+G    B minorBm   A augmentedA     D MajorD
Me and the brothers under the bridge

    B minorBm            G+G
Had enough of town and the street life

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

       D MajorD
Now I don't want no trouble

And I ain't got none to give
        G+G    B minorBm   A augmentedA     D MajorD
Me and the brothers under the bridge

   D MajorD
I come home in '72

          G+G
You were just a beautiul light

            D MajorD
In your mama's dark eyes of blue

I stood down on the tarmac, I was just a kid
        G+G    B minorBm   A augmentedA     D MajorD
Me and the brothers under the bridge

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

        G+G
I held your mother's hand

                 D MajorD
When they passed with the red, white and blue

One minute your'e out there
And something slips

Outro: G+G B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
