High Street Bridge

Вступление

High Street Bridge - Van Walker

From: The Celestial Railroad (2008)

The pattern illustrated in the intro (playing the base note on the beat and the chord on the +)

continues throughout the whole number. To really turn up the blue grass feel, try hitting the

5th base note of the chord on beats 2 and 4!

This is the 'G riff' used throughout the song

Verse 1

Street lamps let them shine on the city

Road maps let them swallow the street

Oh the High Street Bridge sure looks pretty

I never understood why until now

Verse 2

That I'm laying on my bed

And the rain is falling by my head

And I ain't needing no company

Tell me why do I feel like the night is calling

C D C G riff

And soon I'll be out wandering the streets

Verse 3

Half nine & I'm late & I'm restless

It's time & I'm late date to keep

With the band to see I'm on the guest list

I catch a tram & find me a seat up the back

Verse 4

Now I'm rolling on the bar

& the drinks are flowing thru my heart

The band are playing with the light in their eyes

Tell me why will I hold up the bar until morning

C D C G riff

Until I can see some more light in the sky

Interlude

G G riff

Verse 5

Back home, one more drink, toast the city

Cut the light & I turn up the lamp low

The High St Bridge & it's trucks still run busy

But once they've passed I don't care where they go

Cause I'm alright

Verse 6

Now I'm laying on my bed

& the rain is pouring by my head

And I ain't needing no company

Tell me why do I yield to this urge for roaming

C D C G riff

When the sky is calling me
