This is in my mind a great song. It's pretty much D all the way, exept for a few parts.
D
Intro:
D
Saigon, it was all gone
G
The same Coke machines
D
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
D
Campsite's an hour's walk from the nearest road to town
G
Up here there's too much brush and canyon
D
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
D
Come the Santa Ana's, man, that dry brush'll light
G
Billy Devon got burned up in his own campfire one winter night
D
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
D
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
D
I come home in '72
G
You were just a beautiul light
D
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
D
Come Veterans' Day I sat in the stands in my dress blues
G
I held your mother's hand
D
When they passed with the red, white and blue
One minute your'e out there
And something slips
