Biography:
See Sérgio Mendes.
Sérgio Santos Mendes (born Niteroi, 11 February 1941) is a Brazilian musician. Born the son of a physician in Niteroi, Brazil, Mendes attended the local conservatory with hopes of becoming a classical pianist. As his interest in jazz grew, he started playing in nightclubs in the late-1950s just as bossa nova, a jazz-inflected derivative of samba, was taking off. Mendes played with Antonio Carlos Jobim (regarded as a mentor), and many U.S. jazz musicians who toured Brazil.

La la....
Gmaj7 D11 Gmaj7 D11 D7-9
Ooh..
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 C#m7 C6#11
I have crossed a thousand bridges,
Bm7 Am7 Gmaj7 D11
In my search for something real.
Gmaj7 D/F# Em
There were great suspension bridges,
Dm7 Abmaj9/Db Cmaj7 C6/9
Made like spider webs of steel.
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 F#m7-5 F6#11
There were tiny wooden trestles,
Em7 Em7/D A/C# C6#11
And there were bridges made of stone.
Gmaj7 D11 Gmaj7 Bm7/F# Em7
I have always been a stranger,
A13 D7-9 Gmaj7 D11 Gmaj7 D11 D7-9
And I've always been alone.
[Chorus 1]
Gmaj7 Abdim7/G Dm7/G G7
There's a bridge to tomorrow,
Cmaj7/E Bm7
There's a bridge from the past.
Cmaj7 C6#11
There's a bridge of sorrow,
Bm7 Em7 Dm7 D7
That I pray will not last.
Gmaj7 Abdim7/G Dm7/G G7
There's a bridge made of colors,
Cmaj7/E Bm7
In the sky high above,
Cmaj7 C6#11
And I think that there must be,
A13 D7-9 Gmaj7
Bridges made out of love.

[Verse 2]
Gmaj7 C#m7 C6#11
I can see him in the distance,
Bm7 Am7 Gmaj7 D11
On the river's other shore,
Gmaj7 D/F# Em7
And his hands reach out in longing,
Dm7 Abmaj9/Db Cmaj7 C6/9
As my own have done before.
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 F#m7-5 F6#11
And I come across to tell him,
Em7 Em7/D A/C# C6#11
Where I believe the bridge must lie.
Gmaj7 D11 Gmaj7 Bm7/F# Em7
And I'll find it, yes I'll find it,
A13 D7-9 Gmaj7 D11 Gmaj7 D11 D7-9
If I search until I die.
[Chorus 2]
Gmaj7 Abdim7/G Dm7/G G7 G/F#
When the bridge is between us,
Cmaj7/E Bm7
We'll have nothing to say.
Cmaj7 C6#11
We will run through the sunlight,
Bm7 Em7 Dm7
And he'll meet me halfway.
D7 Gmaj7 Abdim7/G Dm7/G G7 G/F#
There's a bridge made of colors,
Cmaj7/E Bm7
In the sky high above,
Cmaj7 C6#11
And I'm certain that somewhere,
A13 D7-9 Gmaj7 D11
There's a bridge made of love.
