Chords for Neal Morse - Bridge Across Forever

_ _ Hello all you out there in inner circle [F#m] land.
_ [E] _ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] Think of what might be nice thing to_
What might be nice?
What might [E] be a nice thing _ for you?
And somebody had [F#m] suggested if I played Bridge Across Forever
and they could see my hands. _
_ Can you see my hands there? _ _ _
_ _ _ So it starts in [Em] F sharp [Bm] minor.
At least that's the key I play it in now.
I don't know what key it's on on the record.
It might [A] be different.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
There's a bridge made of light _
[A] That crosses [E] between [D] _ _ _
death and _ life
The _ [E] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
shadows [C#] walk in the [F#m] sun _ _
And desperate [E] _ [D] lovers _ roam
_ _ _ One _ _ _
_ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ day a child and an [A] angel stood on [D] _ _
either [E] side
Of a magic [A] river _ that [D] there is no [E] crossing
_ But as they tried the [A] water began [D] _ to [Bm] _ _ [B] rise
_ _ And they [Bm] raised [A] their _ _ [F#m] eyes
_ _ _ _ _ And _
[D] _ _ as [E] the river fell [D] away
They [E] built a bridge across [Bm] forever
_ _ [A] _ _ Between [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ tomorrow and [D] _ today
[G#m] There is a bridge across [Bm] forever
_ _ [A] A _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ [E] bridge across [F#m] _ forever
_ _ _ I've _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ had this dream all my life
_ That doesn't [E] [D] live in black and white _ _
I _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ don't have to do that part. _ _ _
It never ends, it just begins _
_ In [E] distant sands and [D] _ _
magenta _ _ _ winds _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ And my love, [A] she is standing [D]
by the [E] side
_ Of a magic [A] river _ [D] that there is no [E] crossing
_ Maybe someday when [A] our spirits [D] begin _ to [Bm] _ _ [B] rise _ _
[Bm] And light fills [A] our eyes _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
We [B] will meet again [D] someday _
On [E] the bridge across [G#m] _ [Bm] forever
_ _ [A] _ _ I [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [E] know that we will [D] find our way
[E] To the bridge across, [Bm] the bridge across
The [A] bridge across [D] _
forever
_ [E] _ _ Between [D] _ _
_ _ [E] tomorrow and _ [F#m] today
[D] _ [G#m] There's a bridge across [Bm] forever
_ _ [F#m] _ [C#m] _ _ [D] I _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[E] know that we will find [D] our [F#m] way
[G#m] To the bridge across [Bm] forever _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[E] The bridge across [F#m] forever _
It _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ reminds me of the first song [C#m] that I wrote
for [B] the first musical that I ever wrote.
I think I came up with this in the [A] early 80s. _ _
[F#m] And it was a mother saying goodbye to her son.
[B] _ _
And it went,
_ Son _ of mine, you [A] must go [B] with them
[F#] There's only room for one
[D] You must go with _ them
[A] Far from all the fighting in the [E] homeland
[B] _ _ Go _ _ [A] _
and tell [B] them all the things you [C#m] know
_ [F#] _ _ Son _ _ _ of _ mine, [A] have a good _ life
Ooh, that's wrong.
Sorry.
_ [G#m] _ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] Grow up big and strong
[D] And be kind to your wife
[A] It isn't safe for children in [B] the homeland
_ _ _ _ [A] Go and be [B] the kind of man [F#] I'd be _ proud [G#] _ _ of
[F#] _
Go _ [G#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
little one, _ _ [B] forget about [F#] your mother
_ [D] Go _ little [G] _ one, [D] and promise _ you'll [E] remember [F#] _ _
me
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] It isn't safe for children in the [E] _
homeland
_ _ [B] _ _ [A] Go and be [E] the kind of man I'd [F#] be _ proud [G#] _ of
Go [A] and be the [G#m] kind of man [D#] who _
_ _ [C#] _ loves _ _ _
_ _ [D#] my _ _ [F#] _
son
I _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ can't believe I remembered that. _
Wow, I don't want to think about how [G] old that [F#m] song is now. _
[F] Almost [E] as old as me!
By golly.
