On my own I built a bridge  (Rab Noakes)  from: Buried Treasures Vol. 2
--------------------------

1.)
On my own I built a bridge, and on my own I crossed it
       G 	      A7	C	       G
on my way I found a storm, and further on I lost it.
       G	      A7	C	     G


Chorus:
Don't go jumpin' in the river, baby
  C	   G		  C	G
that's not the way to go
  C	G	C     G
on your own you'll cross the bridge
 C	 G	      C		  G
and there's a hole in my pocket, that you must sew.
	       F	   C			G


2.)
On his own he built a mountain, and on his own he climbed it
	G		 A7		    C	     G
but when he reached the top he found, another one behind it.
	       G	   	 A7	C	    G


Chorus:
Don't go jumpin' off a tower, baby
  C	   G		   C	 G
that's not the way that it should end
  C	G	C		   G
on your own you reached the top
 C	 G	   C	     G
and there's a tear in my coat, that you've got to mend.
		  F	       C			G



And you know you have to try, to get what you need
 C		  G		  C		G
and the harder that you try, the more chance that you will, succeed.

On your own you built an oasis, and on your own you followed it

you had the waters in your hand, and very nearly swallowed it.

Chorus:
Don't go drinking that poison baby, 
  C        G	        C    G     
trying yourself to kill
  C	   G	     C	   G
on your own you reached the top, 
 C	 G	   C	      G		 
oh somewhere that you got to fail.
        F	  C	      G
