Brothers Under The Bridge ('95) - Bruce Springsteen



D

Saigon, it was all gone

         G                              D

The same Coke machines as the streets I grew on



Down a mesquite canyon we come walking along the ridge

           G        Bm  A     D

Me and the brothers under the bridge 





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

                         G                                     D

Up here there's too much brush and canyon 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 





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

                G                                 D

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



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 





I come home in '72

         G                                          D

You were just a beautiful light 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 





Come Veteran's Day I sat in the stands in my dress blues

            G                                            D

I held your mother's hand when they passed with the red, white and blue



One minute you're right there . . . then something slips . . .
