A5
In this city with no footpath there's a building with no people
           B5
There is crime and gun decisions.


            A5
There's a street of heat and hawlers, there's a house of hope and drifters
     B5
There's a gang that shoots then listens


            E5
There's a place that knows no poverty, a town without pollution
           Gis
There's a soul with good intentions


            A5
There are canyons full of movie stars, churches made of metal
            B5
There are mountains made of muscle


          A5
We have leaders who are anxious we have captains not courageous
          B5
Captains tumbling into madness


               E5
But there's a man who makes no enemies

A body never breathless
       Gis
No ambition ever hopeless


Cis
Up on bedlam bridge somebody is waiting
                                B5
Up on bedlam bridge I'm shot to heaven
Fis                     Gis
Oh up on bedlam bridge waiting

(same chords)

In these locked and shackled neighbourhoods

Nridge and tunnel diplomats

See the golden ghetto's creeper

Crazy flags from history, songs for the White House gangsters

Guns for hellgate railway sleepers

But there's a man...


  E5                             A5
So how stands the city on this winter's night?
    E5                           D5
The city on the hill or so they said
    E5                               B5
The snow is falling down around the armbury
    C5                           G5  D5
The city's closing in around my head


Up on bedlam bridge...


Drive - drive the engines harder - drive

Up on bedlam bridge...

Drive drive drive

Won't you turn the engines over - drive
