Another fantastatic song from Sir Elton John!
Enjoy ...
Capo 1
[Verse 1]
CI've seen the bridge and the Fbridge is long
And they Gbuilt it high and they Fbuilt it strong
Strong enAmough to hold the Fweight of time
Long enCough to leave some of Gus behind
[Chorus]
And every Amone of us has to Fface that day
Do you Gcross the bridge or do you Em7fade away
And every Fone of us that ever Fmcame to play
Has to Ccross the bridge or Gfade Caway
[Verse 2]
Standing Con the bridge looking Fat the waves
Seen so Gmany jump, never Fseen one saved
On a Amdistant beach your Fsong can die
On a Cbitter wind, on a Gcruel tide
[Chorus]
And every Amone of us has to Fface that day
Do you Gcross the bridge or do you Em7fade away
And every Fone of us that ever Fmcame to play
Has to Ccross the bridge or Gfade Caway
[Verse 3]
FAnd the bridge it Amshines
FOh cold hard Amiron
Saying Fcome and risk it all
Or die CtryGing
[Chorus]
And every Amone of us has to Fface that day
Do you Gcross the bridge or do you Em7fade away
And every Fone of us that ever Fmcame to play
Has to Ccross the bridge or Gfade Caway
