Water Underneath The Bridge

Key of G

Open in Bluegrass Book: transpose, play along

Verse

You came to me and said that you were wrong
For leaving me and staying gone so long
You came to me with open arms saying you were home
In my mind I can’t forgive you in my heart I’m all alone

Chorus

You say you want to come back
To our home upon the ridge
There’s too much water underneath the bridge

Verse

A home and a family left behind
Two little children crying all the time
All the things that we worked for didn’t mean that much to you
So how can I forgive you for what you’ve put me through

Chorus

You say you want to come back
To our home upon the ridge
There’s too much water underneath the bridge

Verse

The day you left I walked on down the road
The sky was gray and cloudy and the water looked so cold
At the crossing by the river, thought I’d take the easy way
Then I realized there’s people here that needed me to stay

Chorus

So I walked back up the hill
To our home upon the ridge
There’s too much water underneath the bridge
