Capo 1st fret
[Intro]
E A B7 E
[Verse 1]
E A
Oh, there I stood in the great big city
B7 E
Where the buildings're tall and the girls're all pretty
A
Up stepped a man he said come here son
N.C. B7
I got a big deal now if you got the mon'
A
I bought the Brooklyn Bridge
B7 E B7
Two dollars, two cigarettes and an autograph picture of Elvis
[Verse 2]
E A
Well, I kept my bridge for a day or so
B7 E
But then my money was a runnin' low
A
And I tried to make me a sale
N.C. B7
But the man done come and he took me to jail
A B7
Said I's crazy, laughed at
E B7
Told me that a society frowned upon them
[Verse 3]
E A
Well, then he stood me up in a front of a judge
B7 E
I stood there a grinnin' but the judge didn't budge
A
He said 30 dollars or 30 days
N.C. B7
And I looked at him and all I could say
A B7
Was all that take 30 dollars, couldn't make that 35 could you
E B7
Spend all my money on that bridge
