[Verse 1]
Em                       G
My name is Eddie, I am a worn man now
    D                       Em
But I know where I was that day
Em                             G
Hiding from the foreman at the base of the tower
       D                          Em
When I saw the mighty bridge give way
Em                            G
Bolts started snapping on the western span
     D                        Em
They sounded like machine gun fire
Em                         G
You should have heard when she came down
    D                     Em
The wind blew me over the wire


[Chorus]
        G         D
And the cold wind blows
Am                      C
Down by the river where nobody goes
G            D                       C
Hell broke free when the bridge came down
Am                   Em
When the bridge came down
      G              D           C
Na na na na na na na Na na na na na


[Verse 2]
Em                G
We took it to the engineers
Continues after the ad
    D                           Em
And made ‘em look up from their plans
     Em                         G
Said something about rust and a difference in camber
    D                      Em
And buckles in the western span
Em                  G
We went back on the job that day
          D                           Em
Well they swore blue murder she would never come down
Em              G
I got away with six broken ribs
          D            Em
I am the luckiest man around


[Chorus]
        G         D
And the cold wind blows
Am                      C
Down by the river where nobody goes
G            D                       C
Hell broke free when the bridge came down
Am                   Em
When the bridge came down
      G              D           C  D  Em
Na na na na na na na Na na na na na
      G              D           C   Em
Na na na na na na na Na na na na na


[Verse 3]
Em               G
Sometimes I lay awake at night
    D                        Em
And think about the ones who died
    Em                               G
The riggers and the chippies and the boilermakers
    D                       Em
The boys who had nowhere to hide
Em                G
I think about how proud we were
    D                    Em
And how we got a bad job done
Em                              G
You've got to trust who you are working with
         D                             Em
When the steel starts to buckle in the sun


[Chorus]
        G         D
And the cold wind blows
Am                      C
Down by the river where nobody goes
G            D                       C
Hell broke free when the bridge came down
        G         D
And the cold wind blows
Am                      C
Down by the river where nobody goes
G            D                       C
Hell broke free when the bridge came down
Am                   Em
When the bridge came down
      G              D           C  D  Em
Na na na na na na na Na na na na na
      G              D           C  D  Em
Na na na na na na na Na na na na na
      G              D           C  D  Em
Na na na na na na na Na na na na na
      G              D           C  D  Em
Na na na na na na na Na na na na na
