Bridge Washed Out
W. Mack
NOTE: CHORUS played the same as the VERSES.
CAPO I
Well the [G]bridge washed out and [C]I can't swim
And my [G]baby's on the [D]other [G]side
When I [G]awoke this mornin', the rain was a-pourin' down
[C]I was gonna wed the little river girl just over the bridge across [G]town
I'm runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me [C]wild
'Cause the [G]bridge washed out and [C]I can't swim
And my [G]baby's on the [D]other [G]side
CHORUS:
Oh rain oh rain stop fallin', dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride's a-waitin' and the weddin' bells are startin' to chime
Well I can't kiss and hold her, and it's drivin' me outta my mind
'Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side
SOLO: G C G D G
Yeah I got one foot in the water, one foot solid on the ground
Well I'd try to swim that ragin' old river, but I know if I try I'd drown
There's not one boat around me, they've all gone out with the tide
'Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side, yeah
CHORUS
Yeah the bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side
