This is in my mind a great song. It's pretty much D all the way, exept for a few parts.
Intro: D  
DSaigon, it was all gone
The sGame Coke machines
As the strDeets I grew on
Down in a mesquite canyon
We come walking along the ridge
Me and the brGothers BmundeAr the bridDge
CamDpsite's an hour's walk from the nearest road to town
Up here there's too much brGush and canyon
For the CHP choppers Dto touch down
Ain't lookin' for nothin', just wanna live
Me and the broGthers BmundeAr the briDdge
CoDme the Santa Ana's, man, that dry brush'll light
Billy DeGvon got burned up in his own campfire one winter night
We buDried his body in the white stone high up along the ridge
Me and the broGthers BmundeAr the briDdge
Had enBmough of town and the stGreet life
Over notDhing you end up on the wrong eAnd of someone's knife
Now I don't wDant no trouble
And I ain't got none to give
Me and the broGthers BmundeAr the briDdge
I coDme home in '72
You were just a beaGutiul light
In your mama's dark eyDes of blue
I stood down on the tarmac, I was just a kid
Me and the broGthers BmundeAr the brDidge
Come VetDerans' Day I sat in the stands in my dress blues
I held your motGher's hand
When they passed with the red, whDite and blue
One minute your'e out there
And something slips
Outro:  G   Bm   A  D

This is in my mind a great song. It's pretty much D all the way, exept for a few parts.

Intro:

Saigon, it was all gone

The same Coke machines

As the streets I grew on

Down in a mesquite canyon

We come walking along the ridge

G Bm A D

Me and the brothers under the bridge

Campsite's an hour's walk from the nearest road to town

Up here there's too much brush and canyon

For the CHP choppers to touch down

Ain't lookin' for nothin', just wanna live

G Bm A D

Me and the brothers under the bridge

Come the Santa Ana's, man, that dry brush'll light

Billy Devon got burned up in his own campfire one winter night

We buried his body in the white stone high up along the ridge

G Bm A D

Me and the brothers under the bridge

Bm G

Had enough of town and the street life

D A

Over nothing you end up on the wrong end of someone's knife

Now I don't want no trouble

And I ain't got none to give

G Bm A D

Me and the brothers under the bridge

I come home in '72

You were just a beautiul light

In your mama's dark eyes of blue

I stood down on the tarmac, I was just a kid

G Bm A D

Me and the brothers under the bridge

Come Veterans' Day I sat in the stands in my dress blues

I held your mother's hand

When they passed with the red, white and blue

One minute your'e out there

And something slips

G Bm A D
