Nineteen scarlet roses the Chaplin spread around
       G7G7   C majorC        G7G7  C majorC
The waters of Burrard inlet in old Vancover town
                      FF
Where the bridge came tumblin down and the bridge came tumblin down
  C majorC              G7G7
And nineteen steel men drown ,in June of nineteen fifty eight
  FF      C majorC
In old Vancover town

There were seventy nine men working to build this brand new bridge
      G7G7   C majorC           G7G7    C majorC
To span the second narrows and connect up with the ridge
                   FF
Til the big win hit the ridge and the bridge came tumblin down
  C majorC                G7G7
And nineteen steel men drown and the medical cor couldn't be to sure
    FF          C majorC
Of the rest of the men they found

In among the twisted girders one man realized
        G7G7    C majorC         G7G7    C majorC
How last night he'd been dreamin and saw before his eyes
                 FF
The big wind on the rise and the bridge came tumblin down
  C majorC                G7G7
And nineteen steel men drown and he saw the fright of the darkest night
  FF      C majorC
In old Vancover town

C majorC      G7G7   C majorC        G7G7   C majorC
With frogmen in the water by cutting torches glow
        G7G7    C majorC           G7G7   C majorC
they faught the save the steel men,from certain death below
                    FF
And the pain we'll never know when the bridge came tumblin down
  C majorC              G7G7
And nineteen steel men drown and sixty more that came ashore
  FF         C majorC
So thankful they were found

It often makes you wonder in strength who has the edge
       G7G7     C majorC            G7G7   C majorC
The strongest steel beem structure that span the highest ridge
                    FF
Or the men who built the bridge for the bridge came tumblin down
  C majorC                 G7G7
And nineteen steel men drown ,but the other men came back again
  FF         C majorC
To lay the new beems down

Now if your ever crossing this mighty bridge sublime
       G7G7   C majorC      G7G7    C majorC
And nineteen scarlet roses pass before your mind
               FF
Remember and be kind for the bridge came tumblin down
  C majorC              G7G7
And nineteen steel men drown ,so you could ride to the other side
  FF      C majorC
Of old Vancover town
