Song: The Bridge Came Tumblin' Down Tab


(C)Nineteen (G7)scarlet (C)roses
The chaplain (G7)spread a(C)round
In the waters of (G7)Burrard (C)Inlet
In old Van(G7)couver (C)Town
Where the bridge came tumblin' down
When the (F)bridge came tumblin' down
(C)Nineteen men were drowned
In (G7)June or nineteen fifty-eight
In (F)old Vancouver (C)Town

There were seventy-(G7)nine men (C)working
To build this (G7)brand new (C)bridge
To span the (G7)Second (C)Narrows
And connect up (G7)with the (C)ridge
Till a big wind hit the bridge
And the (F)bridge came tumblin' down
And (C)nineteen men were drowned
And the (G7)medical corps couldn't be too sure
Of the (F)rest of the men they (C)found

In among the (G7)twisted (C)girders
One man(G7) real(C)ized
How last night (G7)he'd been (C)dreaming
And saw be(G7)fore his (C)eyes
The big wind on the rise
And the (F)bridge came tumblin' down
And (C)nineteen steel men drowned
And he (G7)saw the fright of the darkest night
In (F)old Vancouver (C)Town

With frogmen(G7) in the (C)water
By the cutting (G7)torches' (C)glow
They fought to (G7)save the (C)steel men
And pain we'll never know
When the (F)bridge came tumblin' down
And (C)nineteen men were drowned
And (G7)sixty more that came ashore
So (F)thankful they were (C)found

It often (G7)makes you (C)wonder
In strength, who (G7)has the (C)edge
The longest (G7)steel-beam (C)structure
That spans the (G7)highest (C)ridge
Or the men that built the bridge
For the (F)bridge came tumblin' down
And (C)nineteen men were drowned
But the (G7)other men came back again
To (F)lay the new beams (C)down


Now if you're (G7)ever (C)crossing
This mighty (G7)bridge sub(C)lime
And nineteen (G7)scarlet (C)roses
Pass be(G7)fore your (C)mind
Remember and be kind
The (F)bridge came tumblin' down
And (C)nineteen men were drowned
So (G7)you could ride to the other side
Of (F)old Vancouver (C)Town

So (G7)you could ride to the other side of
(slow)  (F)Old Vancouver (C)Town
