Lyrics
THE BRIDGE AT DEVIL'S
By BILL BEACH
VERSE 1:
Em
THE BRIDGE AT DEVIL'S ELBOW
Em
VICTIMS CLAMOR FOR ATTENTION
Am
VANISHING HITCHHIKERS KNOW
Em
THE GRIM REAPER'S INTENTION
VERSE 2:
Em
GOOD OLD SANDWICH SHOP
Em
ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BRIDGE
Am
BUT THOSE SOUTH SIDE STOP'S
Em
ARE ROUGH AROUND THE EDGE
PRE-CHORUS:
C
SO, PUT AWAY YOUR LIFE'S CARES
B
AND SEIZE YOUR RIDE AND GUN
Em
COME JOIN US IN THE WARY CHASE
B7
WHERE OZARK RIVERS RUN
CHORUS:
Em
ON THE DEVIL'S ELBOW BRIDGE
Am
THE ROAD KNOWN AS ROUTE 66
Em
MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT CROSSING
Am
THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER STYX
VERSE 3:
Em
THE BIG CUT OF THE MOTHER ROAD
Em
A CROOKED BEND MOST FEARED
Am
WHERE THE BIG PINY OVERFLOWED
Em
THE WRECKAGE FINALLY CLEARED.
VERSE 4:
Em
ANGLERS CAST THEIR LINES FOR SOULS
Em
BUT THEIR BAIT WAS NEVER TAKEN
Am
THE DEVIL TAKES HIS WICKED TOLLS
Em
AND LEAVES THE LIVING SHAKEN
PRE-CHORUS:
C
SO, PUT AWAY YOUR LIFE'S CARES
B
AND SEIZE YOUR RIDE AND GUN
Em
COME JOIN US IN THE WARY CHASE
B7
WHERE OZARK RIVERS RUN
CHORUS:
Em
ON THE DEVIL'S ELBOW BRIDGE
Am
THE ROAD KNOWN AS ROUTE 66
Em
MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT CROSSING
Am
THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER STYX
