Artist: Jim Reeves
[VERSE 1]
[C]I have lived a life of sin
In this world I'm living in
I have [G7]done forbidden things I shouldn't [C]do
I[C] ask a beggar along the way
If he could tell me where to stay
Where I could [G7]find real happiness and love that's [C]true
[REFRAIN]
[C]Across the bridge there's no more sorrow
Across the bridge there's no more [G7]pain
The sun will [C]shine [C7]across the [F]river
And you'll [C]never be [G7]unhappy [C]again
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [G7] [C]
[VERSE 2]
F[C]ollow the footsteps of the King
Till you hear the voices ring
They'll be [G7]singing out the glory of the [C]Land
T[C]he river Jordan will be near
The sound of trumpet you will hear
And you'll [G7]behold the most precious place
Ever known to [C]man
[REFRAIN]
A[C]cross the bridge there's no more sorrow
Across the bridge there's no more [G7]pain
The sun will [C]shine [C7]across the [F]river
And you'll [C]never be [G7]unhappy [C]again
[Final]
A[C]cross the bridge there's no more sorrow
Across the bridge there's no more [G7]pain
The sun will [C]shine [C7]across the [F]river
And you'll [C]never be [G7]unhappy [C]again
[C]I have lived a life of sin
In this world I'm living in
I have [G7]done forbidden things I shouldn't [C]do
I[C] ask a beggar along the way
If he could tell me where to stay
Where I could [G7]find real happiness and love that's [C]true
[REFRAIN]
[C]Across the bridge there's no more sorrow
Across the bridge there's no more [G7]pain
The sun will [C]shine [C7]across the [F]river
