Bridge Came Tumblin Down

C        G7      C
Nineteen scarlet roses
             G7      C
The chaplain spread a-round
                 G7      C
In the waters of Burrard Inlet
          G7      C
In old Van-couver Town
 C
Where the bridge came tumblin' down
         F
When the bridge came tumblin' down
C
Nineteen men were drowned
   G7
In June or nineteen fifty-eight
   F             C
In old Vancouver Town
                   G7       C
There were seventy-nine men working
              G7        C
To build this brand new bridge
            G7     C
To span the Second Narrows
               G7       C
And connect up with the ridge
C
Till a big wind hit the bridge
        F
And the bridge came tumblin' down
    C
And nineteen men were drowned
        G7
And the medical corps couldn't be 
too sure
       F                    C
Of the rest of the men they found
             G7      C
In among the twisted girders

    G7      C
One man real-ized
               G7        C
How last night he'd been dreaming
          G7        C
And saw be-fore his eyes
C
The big wind on the rise
        F
And the bridge came tumblin' down
    C
And nineteen steel men drowned
       G7
And he saw the fright of the darkest
 night
   F             C
In old Vancouver Town
             G7     C
With frogmen in the water
               G7       C
By the cutting torches' glow
               G7       C
They fought to save the steel men
             G7      C
From certain death be-low
C
And pain we'll never know
         F
When the bridge came tumblin' down
    C
And nineteen men were drowned
    G7
And sixty more that came ashore
   F                  C
So thankful they were found
         G7        C
It often makes you wonder
                 G7      C
In strength, who has the edge
            G7         C
The longest steel-beam structure
               G7      C
That spans the highest ridge
C
Or the men that built the bridge
        F
For the bridge came tumblin' down
    C
And nineteen men were drowned
        G7
But the other men came back again
   F                 C
To lay the new beams down
              G7   C
Now if you're ever crossing
            G7        C
This mighty bridge sub-lime
             G7      C
And nineteen scarlet roses
       G7         C
Pass be-fore your mind
C
Remember and be kind
    F
The bridge came tumblin' down
    C
And nineteen men were drowned
   G7
So you could ride to the other side
   F             C
Of old Vancouver Town
   G7
So you could ride to the other side
