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

We will never part...
