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
