Bridge Came Tumblin Down chords by Stompin Tom Connors

Chords with lyrics

C majorC    G7G7   C majorC
Nineteen scarlet roses
       G7G7   C majorC
The chaplain spread a-round
         G7G7   C majorC
In the waters of Burrard Inlet
     G7G7   C majorC
In old Van-couver Town
 C majorC
Where the bridge came tumblin' down
     FF
When the bridge came tumblin' down
C majorC
Nineteen men were drowned
  G7G7
In June or nineteen fifty-eight
  FF       C majorC
In old Vancouver Town
          G7G7    C majorC
There were seventy-nine men working
       G7G7    C majorC
To build this brand new bridge
      G7G7   C majorC
To span the Second Narrows
        G7G7    C majorC
And connect up with the ridge
C majorC
Till a big wind hit the bridge
    FF
And the bridge came tumblin' down
  C majorC
And nineteen men were drowned
    G7G7
And the medical corps couldn't be too sure
    FF          C majorC
Of the rest of the men they found
       G7G7   C majorC
In among the twisted girders
  G7G7   C majorC
One man real-ized
        G7G7    C majorC
How last night he'd been dreaming
     G7G7    C majorC
And saw be-fore his eyes
C majorC
The big wind on the rise
    FF
And the bridge came tumblin' down
  C majorC
And nineteen steel men drowned
    G7G7
And he saw the fright of the darkest night
  FF       C majorC
In old Vancouver Town
       G7G7   C majorC
With frogmen in the water
        G7G7    C majorC
By the cutting torches' glow
        G7G7    C majorC
They fought to save the steel men
       G7G7   C majorC
C
And pain we'll never know
     FF
When the bridge came tumblin' down
  C majorC
And nineteen men were drowned
  G7G7
And sixty more that came ashore
  FF         C majorC
So thankful they were found
     G7G7    C majorC
It often makes you wonder
         G7G7   C majorC
In strength, who has the edge
      G7G7     C majorC
The longest steel-beam structure
        G7G7   C majorC
That spans the highest ridge
C majorC
Or the men that built the bridge
    FF
For the bridge came tumblin' down
  C majorC
And nineteen men were drowned
    G7G7
But the other men came back again
  FF         C majorC
To lay the new beams down
       G7G7  C majorC
Now if you're ever crossing
      G7G7    C majorC
This mighty bridge sub-lime
       G7G7   C majorC
And nineteen scarlet roses
    G7G7     C majorC
Pass be-fore your mind
C majorC
Remember and be kind
  FF
The bridge came tumblin' down
  C majorC
And nineteen men were drowned
  G7G7
So you could ride to the other side
  FF       C majorC
Of old Vancouver Town
  G7G7
So you could ride to the other side of
***slow** FF       C majorC
     Old Vancouver Town
