 Bedlam Bridge - Midnight Oil
 In this city  with no footpath there's a building with no people
 There is crime  and gun decisions.
 There's a street  of heat and hawlers, there's a house of hope and drifters
 There's  a gang that shoots then listens
 There's a place  that knows no poverty, a town without pollution
 There's a soul  with good intentions
 There are canyons  full of movie stars, churches made of metal
 There are mountains  made of muscle
 We have leaders  who are anxious we have captains not courageous
 Captains tumbling  into madness
 But there's a man  who makes no enemies
 A body never breathless
 No ambition  ever hopeless
 cis
 Up on bedlam bridge somebody is waiting
 Up on bedlam bridge I'm shot to heaven
Oh  up on bedlam bridge waiting
 (same chords)
 In these locked and shackled neighbourhoods
 Nridge and tunnel diplomats
 See the golden ghetto's creeper
 Crazy flags from history, songs for the White House gangsters
 Guns for hellgate railway sleepers
 But there's a man...
 So  how stands the city on this winter's  night?
 The city  on the hill or so they said
 The snow  is falling down around the armbury
 The city's  closing in around my head
 Up on bedlam bridge...
 Drive - drive the engines harder - drive
 Up on bedlam bridge...
 Drive drive drive
 Won't you turn the engines over - drive

Bedlam Bridge - Midnight Oil

In this c[A]ity with no footpath there's a building with no people
There is cr[B]ime and gun decisions.

There's a st[A]reet of heat and hawlers, there's a house of hope and drifters
There[B]'s a gang that shoots then listens

There's a pl[E]ace that knows no poverty, a town without pollution
There's a s[Gis]oul with good intentions

There are ca[A]nyons full of movie stars, churches made of metal
There are mo[B]untains made of muscle

We have le[A]aders who are anxious we have captains not courageous
Captains t[B]umbling into madness

But there's a m[E]an who makes no enemies

A body never breathless
No ambi[Gis]tion ever hopeless

cis
Up on bedlam bridge somebody is waiting
Up on bedlam bridge I'm shot to [B]heaven
[Fis]Oh up on bedlam bridge w[Gis]aiting

(same chords)
In these locked and shackled neighbourhoods
Nridge and tunnel diplomats
See the golden ghetto's creeper

Crazy flags from history, songs for the White House gangsters
Guns for hellgate railway sleepers

But there's a man...

So[E] how stands the city on this w[A]inter's night?
The [E]city on the hill or so they [D]said
The [E]snow is falling down around the [B]armbury
The [C]city's closing in around my [G]hea[D]d

Up on bedlam bridge...

Drive - drive the engines harder - drive

Up on bedlam bridge...

Drive drive drive

Won't you turn the engines over - drive
