[Verse 1]
CI have lived a life of sin
In this world I'm living in
I have G7done forbidden things I shouldn't Cdo
I Cask a beggar along the way
If he could tell me where to stay
Where I could G7find real happiness and love that's Ctrue
[Refrain]
CAcross the bridge there's no more sorrow
Across the bridge there's no more G7pain
The sun will Cshine C7across the Friver
And you'll Cnever be G7unhappy Cagain
[Instrumental]
C      G7      C
[Verse 2]
FCollow the footsteps of the King
Till you hear the voices ring
They'll be G7singing out the glory of the CLand
TChe river Jordan will be near
The sound of trumpet you will hear
And you'll G7behold the most precious place
Ever known to Cman
[Refrain]
ACcross the bridge there's no more sorrow
Across the bridge there's no more G7pain
The sun will Cshine C7across the Friver
And you'll Cnever be G7unhappy Cagain
[Final]
ACcross the bridge there's no more sorrow
Across the bridge there's no more G7pain
The sun will Cshine C7across the Friver
And you'll Cnever be G7unhappy Cagain
