CAPO I

         G                     C
Well the bridge washed out and I can't swim
       G             D     G
And my baby's on the other side

       G
When I awoke this mornin', the rain was a-pourin' down
C                                                                 G
I was gonna wed the little river girl just over the bridge across town
                                                               C
I'm runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me wild
           G                     C
'Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim
       G             D     G
And my baby's on the other side


CHORUS:
Oh rain oh rain stop fallin', dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride's a-waitin' and the weddin' bells are startin' to chime
Well I can't kiss and hold her, and it's drivin' me outta my mind
'Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side


SOLO: G  C  G  D  G


Yeah I got one foot in the water, one foot solid on the ground
Well I'd try to swim that ragin' old river, but I know if I try I'd drown
There's not one boat around me, they've all gone out with the tide
'Cause the bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side, yeah


CHORUS


Yeah the bridge washed out and I can't swim
And my baby's on the other side
