[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][G][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Nineteen scarlett roses the chaplin spread around|In the waters of Berard Inlet in old Vancouver town|When the bridge came tumbling [F]down|When the bridge came [C]tumbling down||Nineteen men were drowned in [G]June of 1958|In old [F]Vancouver [C]town|There were seventy-nine men working|To build this brand new bridge|To span the second and narrows|And connect up with the ridge|Till a big wind hit the bridge||And the bri[F]dge came tumbling dow[C]n||And nineteen men were dro[G]wned|The medical corp couldn't be too sure of the res[F]t of the men the[C]y found|In among the twisted girders one man realized|How last night he'd been dreaming and saw before his eyes|The big wind on the ris[F]e|And the bridge came tumbling dow[C]n|And nineteen steelmen drowned,
[G]and he saw the fright of the darkest [F]night|In old [C]Vancouver town||With frogmen in the water by the cutting torches glow|They fought [G]to save [C]the steelmen|From certain death below and pain we'll never [F]know|When the bridge came tumbling [C]down|And nineteen men were drowned, and [G]sixty more that came [F]ashore|So thankful [C]they were found||It often makes you wonder|In strength who has the edge|The longest steel [G]beam [C]structure|That spans the hig[G]hest rid[C]ge|For the men that built the bridge[F]|For the bridge came tumbling down|A[C]nd nineteen men were drowned|But the other [G]men came back again|[F]To lay the new beams [C]down||Now if your ever crossing|This mighty bridge sublime|And nineteen scarlett roses pass before your mind|Remember and be kind|T[F]he bridge came tumbling down|Ansd nine[C]teen men were drowne[G]d|So you could ride to the other side|O[F]f old Vancouver town||[C]So [G]you could ride to the other side|Of o[F]ld Vancouver town||
