Song:The Bridge Came Tumblin' Down

(C)Nineteen (G7)scarlet (C)roses

The chaplain (G7)spread a(C)round

In the waters of (G7)Burrard (C)Inlet

In old Van(G7)couver (C)Town

Where the bridge came tumblin' down

When the (F)bridge came tumblin' down

(C)Nineteen men were drowned

In (G7)June or nineteen fifty-eight

In (F)old Vancouver (C)Town

There were seventy-(G7)nine men (C)working

To build this (G7)brand new (C)bridge

To span the (G7)Second (C)Narrows

And connect up (G7)with the (C)ridge

Till a big wind hit the bridge

And the (F)bridge came tumblin' down

And (C)nineteen men were drowned

And the (G7)medical corps couldn't be too sure

Of the (F)rest of the men they (C)found

In among the (G7)twisted (C)girders

One man(G7) real(C)ized

How last night (G7)he'd been (C)dreaming

And saw be(G7)fore his (C)eyes

The big wind on the rise

And the (F)bridge came tumblin' down

And (C)nineteen steel men drowned

And he (G7)saw the fright of the darkest night

In (F)old Vancouver (C)Town

With frogmen(G7) in the (C)water

By the cutting (G7)torches' (C)glow

They fought to (G7)save the (C)steel men

>From certain (G7)death be(C)low

And pain we'll never know

When the (F)bridge came tumblin' down

And (C)nineteen men were drowned

And (G7)sixty more that came ashore

So (F)thankful they were (C)found

It often (G7)makes you (C)wonder

In strength, who (G7)has the (C)edge

The longest (G7)steel-beam (C)structure

That spans the (G7)highest (C)ridge

Or the men that built the bridge

For the (F)bridge came tumblin' down

And (C)nineteen men were drowned

But the (G7)other men came back again

To (F)lay the new beams (C)down

Now if you're (G7)ever (C)crossing

This mighty (G7)bridge sub(C)lime

And nineteen (G7)scarlet (C)roses

Pass be(G7)fore your (C)mind

Remember and be kind

The (F)bridge came tumblin' down

And (C)nineteen men were drowned

So (G7)you could ride to the other side

Of (F)old Vancouver (C)Town

So (G7)you could ride to the other side of

(slow) (F)Old Vancouver (C)Town
