Brothers Under The Bridges ('83) - Bruce Springsteen
(Sax intro)| E | E | E | E |
A E D
Lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay
A E D
Lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay
A E
Well every spring when the weather gets warm
Bm D
They come pourin' into town straight off of them farms
A E
Driving 455s running hard and strong
Bm D
They'd scratch built in them tool sheds all winter long
E
'Neath the trestles drinkin' the beer and the wine
D E
Now some came to run, some just to pass the time
A G#m D A
With the brothers under the bridges
E
Me and Tommy we was just fourteen, didn't have our licenses yet
Bm D
Our walls were covered with pictures of cars we'd get
A E
We'd listen and wait for that highway to rumble and quake
Bm D
As they drove in through town when the weekend'd break
E
Bringin' girls with that distant look in their eyes
D E
Now together 'neath the trestles they'd be laughing in the night
A G#m D A
With the brothers under the bridges
D A
Well now me and my brother'd hitched a ride in Joey's pickup to the edge of town
D A E
And we watched from the tall grass as the challenges were made and the duels went down
D A
We'd hitchhike back home, sneak in, get in bed before our mom'd come
E
And we'd lay there in the night talkin' about how we might someday be one
D C#m E A
Yeah someday run with the brothers under the bridges
(Sax break) | A | A | D | D | A | A | D | D | A | A | D | D | A | A | D | D | A
E Bm D
Well now I hear a cry in the distance and the sound of marching feet come and gone
A E Bm D
Well I'm sittin down here by this highway figuring, figuring just where, where I belong
E
Tonight up here on Signal Hill
D E
I watch a young man in a red shirt walking through a night so still
A E Bm
Put his jacket 'round his girl as the autumn wind sends a chill
A G#m D A
Through the brothers under the bridges
(Sax solo) | E | E | E | E

Lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay lay
