Intro: D

DSaigon, (xx0232@1)it was all gone
     GThe (320003@1)same Coke machines
          DAs (xx0232@1)the streets I grew on
Down in a mesquite canyon
We come walking along the ridge

   DCampsite's (xx0232@1)an hour's walk from the nearest road to town
                           GUp (320003@1)here there's too much brush and canyon
                     DFor (xx0232@1)the CHP choppers to touch down
Ain't lookin' for nothin', just wanna live
              G (320003@1)   Bm (x24432@1)A (x02220@1)      DMe (xx0232@1)and the brothers under the bridge
  DCome (xx0232@1)the Santa Ana's, man, that dry brush'll light
        GBilly (320003@1)Devon got burned up in his own campfire one winter night
     DWe (xx0232@1)buried his body in the white stone high up along the ridge
              G (320003@1)   Bm (x24432@1)A (x02220@1)      DMe (xx0232@1)and the brothers under the bridge
      Bm (x24432@1)                   GHad (320003@1)enough of town and the street life
        D (xx0232@1)                           AOver (x02220@1)nothing you end up on the wrong end of someone's knife
             DNow (xx0232@1)I don't want no trouble
And I ain't got none to give
              G (320003@1)   Bm (x24432@1)A (x02220@1)      DMe (xx0232@1)and the brothers under the bridge
    DI (xx0232@1)come home in '72
                   GYou (320003@1)were just a beautiul light
                      DIn (xx0232@1)your mama's dark eyes of blue
I stood down on the tarmac, I was just a kid
              G (320003@1)   Bm (x24432@1)A (x02220@1)     DMe (xx0232@1)and the brothers under the bridge
        DCome (xx0232@1)Veterans' Day I sat in the stands in my dress blues
               GI (320003@1)held your mother's hand
                                 DWhen (xx0232@1)they passed with the red, white and blue
One minute your'e out there
And something slips
