Bridge Washed Out

Intro:
G                         C
The bridge washed out and I can't swim
       G             D7    G
And my baby's on the other side


Well when I woke up this mornin' the rain was a-pourin' down
      C                                                            G
I was gonna wed me a little river girl just over the bridge across town
                                                               C
I'm runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me wild
          G                     C
Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim
       G             D7    G
And my baby's on the other side


Rain oh rain stop fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky
    C
The preacher and my bride is a-waitin'
                                     G
And my weddin' bells are startin' to chime
                                                       C
I can't kiss and hold her and it's drivin' me outta my mind
    G                     C
The bridge washed out and I can't swim
       G             D7    G
And my baby's on the other side


Now I got one foot in the water the other foot solid on the ground
       C                                                      G
When I try to swim that ragin' old river I know if I try I'll drown
                                                           C
There's not a boat around me they've all gone out with the tide
        G                     C
And the bridge washed out and I can't swim
       G             D7    G
And my baby's on the other side

Repeat #2

                          C
The bridge washed out and I can't swim
       G             D7    G
And my baby's on the other side
