Christy plays this song with the capo on the second fret. The chords he plays are : For the verses:(in this order) G,D,C,G,Am,F,G,C,Am,C,D,G,C,D,C,G. And then for the chorus: C,D,G,C,D,C,G.

I dont know how to put the chords over the words but i hope this helps. The chords are in order.

ON THE BRIDGE- Christy Moore

[G]There's thirty people on the [D]bridge and they're [C]standing in the [G]rain
They [Am]caught my eye as I [F]passed them by,they [G]tried to [C]explain
[Am]Why they were[C]standing there,I[D]did not want to [G]hear
When [C]troubles gets too [D]close to home,my [C]anger turns to [G]fear


[G]With my eyes [D]turned to the ground [C]I moved [G]along
I[Am]covered [F]up my ears and [G]I held my [C]tongue
The [Am]rain poured down [C]relentlessly [D]upon the picket [G]line
And the [C]empty words fell (D]from my lips,"[C]your troubles are not [G]mine"

CHORUS
[G]Though the [C]rain it made the colours run the [D]message it was [G]plain
[C]Women are being [D]strip searched in [C]Armagh [G]jail


We [G]kneel in ado[D]ration before [C]effigies of [G]stone
Our [Am]eyes turned to [F]heaven [G]blind to what's going [C]on
Six [Am]women hold a [C]naked woman [D]pinned down on the [G]floor
[C]Without trial or [D]jury,[C]she's a prisoner of [G]war.


CHORUS

I think is correct, enjoy
