The Bridge chords by John Scott
Verse 1
Am
G
I've watched her from the ri verbanks
Dm
I knew her when she
Em
danced with dreams
Bb
Am
White doves were there to dress her hair
Bb
E
And so was Madeleine
Am
G
At night the people's faces danced
Dm
Em
Like pearls colliding on
Bb
the breasts of Fat Marie
Am
Whose thunder laugh was
Esus4
E
Am
just a thread from crime
F
C
Her sailors stained her cobblestones
F
Em
F
with wine and piss and death desire.
Em
F
And sometimes blood
C
for Madeleine,
Bb
E
whose laughter was the night.
A
G
Her girls would lift their dressers high
D
Em
C
D
C
and breathe the stars and kiss the sky.
A
G
She'd smother them with whispers
F
Esus4
then embrace them with her sighs.
E
Am
Dm
G
Before the bottle dulled my eyes
Dm
Em
and made me so I couldn't stand
Bb
Am
I'd overact and play the clown
Bb
G#dim
E
Am
when Madelaine would cry
F
C
And now I watch from ri verbanks,
F
Em
I watch it weep its memories.
F
Em
White doves turn gray and flow away,
E
C#m
A
Am
and so did Madeleine.
E
