E 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"

E 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
