Brothers Under The Bridge

Intro: D

D
Saigon, it was all gone
     G
The same Coke machines
          D
As the streets I grew on
Down in a mesquite canyon
We come walking along the ridge
             G      Bm  A         D
Me and the brothers under the bridge
   D
Campsite's an hour's walk from the 
nearest road to town
                           G
Up here there's too much brush and 
canyon
                     D
For the CHP choppers to touch down
Ain't lookin' for nothin', just 
wanna live

  D
Come the Santa Ana's, man, that dry 
brush'll light
        G
Billy Devon got burned up in his own
 campfire one winter night
     D
We buried his body in the white 
stone high up along the ridge
              G     Bm  A        D
Me and the brothers under the bridge
      Bm                     G
Had enough of town and the street 
life
        D                          
Over nothing you end up on the 
   A
wrong end of someone's knife
             D
Now I don't want no trouble
And I ain't got none to give
              G     Bm  A        D

    D
I come home in '72
                   G
You were just a beautiul light
                      D
In your mama's dark eyes of blue
I stood down on the tarmac, I was 
just a kid
              G     Bm  A       D
Me and the brothers under the bridge
        D
Come Veterans' Day I sat in the 
stands in my dress blues
               G
I held your mother's hand
                                 D
When they passed with the red, white
 and blue
One minute your'e out there
And something slips
