[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D]

[Verse 1]
I [D]lost my job in Saginaw
[G]working on the railroad
[D]After twenty years they [Bm]just
put me on [E]the side[A]
Now I'm [D]hungry in the street
with no [G]place to [Gm]hang my hat
[D]And nothin' but an emp[A]ty dream to ride
[D]

[Verse 2]
But under the bridge,
I can make believe I'm living in a [G]castle[D][G]
Under the [D]bridge, [Bm]my baby and me[E]
[A]And [D]I can pretend that I'm
[G]a king and this is my kingdom
[Gm]Under the brid[D]ge makin[A]g believe[D]

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
Hey, [D]the doors are always open
[G]to any old weary traveler
And you'll [D]find some great grub
[Bm]feedin' here be[E]low[A]
Any old [D]bridge can be a palace,
[G]call it what you wan[Gm]t to
It's [D]a place to be when you
[A]got no place to go
[D]

[Verse 4]
Under the bridge, I can make believe
I'm living in [G]a castle[D][G]
Under the [D]bridge, [Bm]my baby and me[E][A]
And [D]I can pretend I'm a king,
[G]this is my kin[Gm]gdom
Under the [D]bridge [A]making
be[D]lieve
Hey, under [A]the bridge
making [D]be lieve
