At The Bridge

[Intro ]
G  Am  G  F  Am  G  F 

 
            Am          G       F               C 
Through the valleys of time the salmon rivers flow 
      Am              G            F 
In the meadows the beaver and the bear 
      Am G           F                C 
After 1862 nothing would ever be the same 
Am              G               F 
Listen to the coyote and the crow 
 

 
Am              G       F               C 
A few strong trees left to see another year 
          Am            G               F 
After the silent killer landed on the shore 
         Am       G             F               C 
From the Shetland Isles I would also come by sea 
Am                      G               F 
But I found love among your sons and daughters 

Dm  C  G 
 
 
Em                              F       C 
High upon the mountain we rode side by side 
            F           C 
Shared the cold and the fire 
          G 
We looked over every ridge 
         Em                        C        F 
Where the rivers come together the water is one 
Am G            Dm    C    G       F 
I will meet you downthere at the bridge 

Am  G  F 
 

 
        Am      G       F               C 
By some strange design why we'll never know 
      Am            G               F 
We're waiting all aboard a crooked train 
     Am           G             F           C 
I can't speak for you, but I'll give you my pen 
       Am             G               F 
I know the land means everything and more 
Dm      C       G 
 

 
Em                              F       C 
High upon the mountain we rode side by side 
             F          C 
Shared the cold and the fire 
G 
We looked over every ridge 
      Em                        C       F 
Where rivers come together the water is one 
Am G            Dm    C    G       F 
I will meet you down there at the bridge

F                                              C    G          F 
All said and done the miles put on for the stories, books and songs 
F                                       C       G             F 
Like my simple stone the words live on through a mother and a son 
F               Dm C    G            F 
And they will meet you down at the bridge

High upon the mountain we rode side by side 
C               F       C 
Shared the cold and the fire

We looked over every ridge 
       Em                       C       F 
Where rivers come together the water is one 
F G             Dm      C  G    Am 
I will meet you down there at the bridge 
            Dm    C    G           C 
And we will meet you down at the bridge
