Bridge
Am Em D Am Fill

AmThis (x02210@1)old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders
G/CPulls (2431xx@7)to the left, then dies near the gutter
DBut (xx0232@1)still in the road, the traffic is silent
AmThe (x02210@1)people they stare, and then they turn violent
CIf (x32010@1)they should touch, the hem of your dress
AmI (x02210@1)would rise like a lion, strike out again
CThe (x32010@1)faithful they wait, the faithful they wait
G/CBy (2431xx@7)the sign

D (xx0232@1)                                 Am (x02210@1)                       Am7Near (x02010@1)the town where we were living, came a loud and joyous sound
