¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Listen to the song for strumming pattern, silences etc. First tab so there are definitely errors, but it's
better than some of the other chord charts I've seen on here for this song
I Wish Somebody Would Build A Bridge - Thirsty Merc
Verse 1:
Ab F#
Munching on a ham and cheese sando in the morning on Friday
Fm
Cruising down the Pacific Highway
Eb
Thinking 'bout the day ahead
Ab F#
I paid the rent cheque, got my registration and phone bill
Fm
If those two don't overthrow me the dogs will
Eb
But heck at least I know the taste of bread
Ab F#
Why do I seem to spend my whole damn life chasing paper?
Fm
I'm like an actor turned singer turned waiter
Bbm Eb
I'll wait around until I meet with my maker
Then I'll sign up for AA or something
Ab F#
I just wish there was some other way to get myself somewhere
Fm
This little strip of earth and all that I've done there
Bbm Eb
I'm like a bull-ant on the leg of a sunchair
Under a magnifying glass
Chorus:
Ab C Fm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
E Ab
So I can get over myself
C Fm C# Eb
On my own I'm wasting my time
Verse 2:
Ab F#
I take a phonecall on the mobile while I'm checking the meter
Fm
One sec I need to turn up that little speaker
Eb
It's getting noisy in this little town
Ab F#
We're like America we love to make a ho-har out of jack shit
Fm
I never ever really seemed to fit
Eb
But now I'm stuck so deep in all of this
Ab F#
Come to think of it I might as well be travelling backwards
Fm
It's been an hour and I'm only in Chatswood
Bbm Eb
I hate the way that I'm becoming a product
Go pick me up for $24.95
Ab F#
I'm on sale and it's retail in the world of deception
Fm
You can treat a man if he can't get erections
Bbm Eb
Is there a pill for my lack of direction?
Thanks mate, I'll have a pack of those
Chorus:
Ab C Fm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
E Ab
So I can get over myself
C Fm C# Eb
On my own I'm wasting my time
Ab C Fm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
E Ab
So I can get over myself
C Fm C# Eb
On my own I'm losing my mind
Verse 3:
Ab F#
It's all good I got a broom and a cheap persian rug now
Fm
I can sweep the whole thing outta my sight now
Eb
Outta sight, outta mind
Ab F#
I'll keep on going until I'm pushing 30 or 40
Fm
And as long as I don't do something naughty
Eb
I love my wife, what a life
Ab F#
She comes home to find me spread on the floor from blood poisoning
Fm
I popped a whole lot of pills and I'm shaking
Bbm Eb
And there's a needle sticking out of my arm, I ain't faking I'm zoning in
I'm zoning out
Ab F#
You wanna help me, don't call me an ambulance honey
Fm
Just get a silver service cab this is funny
Bbm Eb
Just one passenger please, going up my own ass
You take credit card? Fuck this!
Chorus:
Ab C Fm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
E Ab
So I can get over myself
C Fm C# Eb
On my own I'm wasting my time
Ab C Fm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
E Ab
So I can get over myself
C Fm C# Eb
On my own I'm losing my mind
Ab C Fm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
E Ab
So I can get over myself
C Fm C# Eb
On my own I'm wasting my time... I'm wasting my life
Ab C Fm
I wish somebody would build a bridge
E Ab
So I can get over myself
C Fm C# Eb (Ab) *optional to resolve melody
On my own I'm losing my mind
