[Intro]
G D G C G D G C G D G C D G
[Verse]
D C G
Grampa buried dignity when he got old
D G
Like a killer and child now for seven long years
D C G
But he wets his own britches if he’s not told
D G
But he used to build bridges, they would light em up at night
[Instrumental]
G D G C G D G C G D G C D G
[Verse]
D C G
Grampa built bridges, they were delicate webs
D G
With ridges and valleys joined hand in hand
D C G
When Grandma went empty the last of her days
D G
He told her she’d come and could go with grace
[Chorus]
D G C
Hold on, hold my hand
C/B D/A
I know you know the way
C G
With eagle’s wings and songs to sing
D G
We’ll lead you across the Bay
[Instrumental]
G D G C G D G C G D G C D G
[Verse]
D C G
Grampa built bridges with crestview spires
D G
With braids of wires and wings of steel
D C G
Til he walked on over with his heels on fire
D G
And the bridge burned back with a captive haze
[Chorus]
D G C
Hold on, hold my hand
C/B D/A
I know you know the way
C G
With eagle’s wings and songs to sing
D G
We’ll lead you across the Bay
[Instrumental]
G D G C G D G C G D G C D G
[Verse]
D C G
Grampa built bridges like mountains and birds
D G
But now he’s curled at the bottom where the sun can’t warm
D C G
Cause there’s nothing in our culture about mountains no more
D G
And there’s no more stories about calling up storms
D C G
No there’s no more stories about sitting up straight
D G
Proud and with purpose, our time to take
D C G
Til the last breath cools for the clouds to make
D G
And rain back down to fill the bay
[Chorus]
D G C
Hold on, hold my hand
C/B D/A
I know you know the way
C G
With eagle’s wings and songs to sing
D G
We’ll lead you across the Bay
