[Verse 1]
[D]Steel men, hey
[Em]Working on a bridge of [D]steel
[Em]Working on a bridge of [D]steel

[Verse 2]
[D]Out on the rocky western coast
of Vancouver by the sea
At a place that's known as [Bm]Second Narrows
they were [E]building a [A]bridge of [D]steel
[A]Well, they

[Verse 3]
[D]hammered and they cut and they riveted
and the welding torches were bright
Making a strap on a [Bm]river's back,
went on [Em]pourin' from [A]day till [D]night[A]

[Verse 4]
[D]Steel men [G](hey)
Working on a bridge to cross
[A](th[D]at water)
Steel [Bm]men [Em](ho)
Working on [A]a bridge of [D]steel

[Verse 5]
Well, it [D]happened on the eighteenth day of
June back in nineteen- fifty plus eight
People were fishing [Bm]from the shore,
the [Em]day was [A]getting [D]late
[A]Now the

[Verse 6]
[D]wind was tugging at the maple
trees but a steel man knows no fear
[A]If [D]somebody wanted to [Bm]bridge the Pacific,
well, [Em]a steel [E]man [A]would be [D]there[A]

[Verse 7]
[D]Steel men [G](hey)
Working on a bridge to
[A]cross [D](that water)
Steel [Bm]men [Em](ho)
Working on a [A]bridge of steel
[D][Eb]

[Verse 8]
Well, [Ebm]all of a sudden, now,
the wind picked [Eb]up and it blew as hard as it could
And that steel bridge swayed like [C]a leaf in
the breeze and it [F]snapped like a [Bb]stick of [Eb]wood
[Bb]Now the girders

[Verse 9]
[Eb]buckled and the rivets
broke and the water heard the cry
And that steel bridge shook off the [Cm]working men
like [Fm]a hou[Bb]nddog shakes off flies

[Verse 10]
[Eb]Steel men [Ab](hey)
Working on a bridge to
[Bb]cross [Eb](that water)
Steel [Cm]men [C](ho)[Fm]
Working on a [Bb]bridge of [Eb]steel[Bb]

[Verse 11]
[Ebm]Eighteen men just as hard as nails and
as eager as a brand- new [Eb]bride
And as the clock on the tower said [C]a quarter- to- four,
[Fm]all eighte[Bb]en had d[Eb]ied[Bb]

[Verse 12]
[Eb]Steel men [Ab](hey)
Working on a bridge to
[Bb]cross [Eb](that water)
Steel [Cm]men [Fm](ho)
Working on a bridge of [Bb]steel[Eb][Bb]

[Verse 13]
[Eb]Steel men [Ab](hey)
Ain't going back [Bb]to a
wife and daughter
[Eb]Steel [Cm]men [Fm](ho)
Living and [Bb]dy ing by s[Eb]teel

[Verse 14]
Living [Fm]and d[Bb]ying by [Eb]steel (hey)
Living and dying by steel (hey)
