Intro: DD
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
GBmAD
Me and the brothers under the BridgeD
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
GBmAD
Me and the brothers under the BridgeD
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
GBmAD
Me and the brothers under the BridgeBmG
Had enough of town and the street life
DA
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
GBmAD
Me and the brothers under the BridgeD
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
GBmAD
Me and the brothers under the BridgeD
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
