Bridges

CAPO 4th Fret

G G/F# Em7 G/F# Cadd9 D G

G G/F# Em7 G/F#

There are bridges, bridges in the sky

Cadd9 D G

And they are shining in the sun

G G/F# Em7 G/F#

They are stone and steel and wood and wire

Cadd9 D G

And they can change two things to one

D/F# Em7

They are languages and letters

Cadd9 D

They are poetry and awe

G G/F# Em7 G/F#

They are love and understanding

Cadd9 D G

And they are better than a wall

Now there are canyons, there are canyons

They are yawning in the night

They are rank and bitter anger

They are all devoid of light

They are fear and blind suspicion

They are apathy and pride

They are dark and so foreboding

And they are, oh, so very wide.

So let us build a bridge of music

Let us cross it with a song

Let us span another canyon

Let us right another wrong

Oh, and if someone should ask us

Where we're off and bound today

We will tell them "Building Bridges!"

And be off and on our way.
