Across the Bridge  by Jim Reeves

I have lived a life of sin

In this world I'm living in

      G7                                 C

I have done forbidden things I shouldn't do

I ask a beggar along the way

If he could tell me where to stay

              G7                                  C

Where I could find real happiness and love that's true

Across the bridge there's no more sorrow

G7

Across the bridge there's no more pain

             C     C7         F

The sun will shine across the river

           C        G7      C

And you'll never be unhappy again

Follow the footsteps of the King

Till you hear the voices ring

           G7                           C

They'll be singing out the glory of the Land

The river Jordan will be near

The sound of trumpet you will hear

G7

And you'll behold the most precious place

Ever known to man

Across the bridge there's no more sorrow

G7

Across the bridge there's no more pain

             C     C7         F

The sun will shine across the river

           C        G7      C

And you'll never be unhappy again
