On St. Swithun's Day, it was a clear day
            F                G              C
And then it rained for forty days and forty nights
       F  C             F    C
I went my way, you went your way
          F             G      Am    C
But we'll meet together in the night
   F           G               C
As real as two dreamers in the night
 
 
CHORUS:
    F       G       C     F
And as your bridges burn
       G       C     F
As the seasons turn
        G       C    F
As your bridges burn
    Bb
St. Swithun's still shining bright

It was a clear day on St. Swithun's Day
            F                G              C
And then it rained for forty days and forty nights
          (F       C)               F       C
But when a brother wronged, is just another song
       F                 G                   Am     G
You'll find you've gotta do the thing that's right
            F             G                   F     C
Yes, you're finally gonna do the thing that's right
 
 
CHORUS:
    F       G       C             F
And as your bridges burn (as your bridges burn)
        G       C        F
And the seasons turn (seasons turn)
        G       C    F
As your bridges burn
    Bb
St. Swithun's still shining bright
