Intro:

They stood on the bridge together
AB
And watched the river flow
E
And to pledge themselves forever
F#mB
A place where lovers go
AE
To fix a lock upon the bridge
BC#m
And each would have a key
ABEC#m
That told of their eternal love
ABE
The way that it must be
C#mAbm
And with this key, she said I give
AB
My soul, my love, my heart
C#mAbm
And if the lock should go from here
ABE
Then I will know that we must part
E
Oh but soon he had to leave her
AB
To be a soldier far away
E
And she would go down to the cathedral
F#mB
And every morning pray
AE
To light a candle for her love
BC#m
To bring him safely home
ABEC#m
But on the day the letter came
ABE
She knew that he was gone
C#mAbm
With trembling hands, she opened it
AB
To read the words which said
C#mAbm
"It is with deep regret we must
ABE
Inform you that he's missing, believed dead"
CAABCAABEE
She stood on the bridge at midnight
AB
And watched the river flow
E
And the lock was in her fingers
F#mB
Into the water she would go
AE
But in the distance heard a voice
BC#m
Calling out her name
ABEC#m
And as he ran to her, she fell
ABE
In his arms again
C#mAbm
And with this key I gave, he said
AB
My soul, my love, my heart
C#mAbm
And when I saw the lock was gone
ABE
I knew that we could never be apart
CAABCAABEAEFEmAEF#mBE
We will never part...
