Can anybody help me with the chords in the bridge of this tune...that is the "walk-down" chords just before the bridge goes into the '2' chord.
Urgent!
Thanks,

G D Am7 D9 G
Across the alley from the Al - a - mo
Cdim G G/F# Em Cdim Am7 D9 G
Lived a pin - to pony and a Nav - a - jo
D Am7 D9 Cdim D Am7 D7
Who sang a sort of In - di - an "Hi - de - ho"
C C/B Cdim D7 G D7
To the peo - ple pas - sin' by.
G D Am7 D9 G
The pinto spent his time a - swish - in' flies
Cdim G G/F# Em Cdim Am7 D9 G
And the Nav - a - jo watched the la - zy skies
D Am7 D9 Cdim D Am7 D7
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes
C C/B Cdim D7 G
On the peo - ple pas - sin' by.
Bridge 1:
C C/B Am7 Am7/G G G/F# Em7
One day, they went a walk - in'
Em6 C C/B Am7 Am7/G G Am7 G
A - long the rail - road track;
G/F# Em B+ Em7 Em6
They were swish - in' not a - look - in' --
Bm7-5 A7 Cdim D7
Toot! Toot! -- they never came back.
G D Am7 D9 G
Oh, across the alley from the Al - a - mo
Cdim G G/F# Em Cdim Am7 D9 G
When the summer sun decides to set - tle low
D Am7 D9 Cdim D Am7 D7
A fly sings an In - di - an "Hi - de - ho"
C C/B Cdim D7 G D7
To the peo - ple pass - ing by.
G D Am7 D9 G
Across the alley from the Al - a - mo
Cdim G G/F# Em Cdim Am7 D9 G
Lived a pin - to pony and a Nav - a - jo
D Am7 D9 Cdim D Am7 D7
Who used to bake fri - jo - les in corn - meal dough
C C/B Cdim D7 G
For the peo - ple pass - ing by.
G D Am7 D9 G
They thought that they would make some ea - sy bucks
Cdim G G/F# Em Cdim Am7 D9 G
By washin' their fri - jo - les in Duz and Lux,
D Am7 D9 Cdim D Am7 D7
A pair of very con - sci - en - tious clucks
C C/B Cdim D7 G
To the peo - ple pass - in' by.
Bridge 2:
C C/B Am7 Am7/G G G/F# Em7
Then they took this cheap va - ca - tion,
Em6 C C/B Am7 Am7/G G Am7 G
Their shoes were pol - ished bright;
G/F# Em B+ Em7 Em6
No, they never heard the whistle--
Bm7-5 Cdim D7
Toot! Toot! they're clear out of sight
G D Am7 D9 G
Oh, across the alley from the Al - a - mo,
Cdim G G/F# Em Cdim Am7 D9 G
When the starlight beams its ten - der glow,
D Am7 D9 Cdim D Am7 D7
The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough
C C/B Cdim D7 G
For the peo - ple pass - in' by.
Bridge 3:
C C/B Am7 Am7/G G G/F# Em7
One day, they went a walkin'
Em6 C C/B Am7 Am7/G G Am7 G
A - long the rail - road track;
G/F# Em B+ Em7 Em6
They were swishin' not a-lookin'--
Bm7-5 A7 Cdim D7
Toot! Toot!, they never came back.
G D Am7 D9 G
Oh, across the alley from the Al - a - mo
Cdim G G/F# Em Cdim Am7 D9 G
When the summer sun decides to set - tle low
D Am7 D9 Cdim D Am7 D7
A fly sings an In - di - an "Hi - de - ho"
C C/B Cdim D7 G Am7 G
To the peo - ple pass - in' by.
Coda:
G/F# Am Am+7 D7 Am7 Cdim G
Across the alley from the Al - a - mo.

Tony, thanks.
This is great and I really appreciate your getting back to me.
Do you ever run into John Goodman down there? John and I attended Jeff Newman's Jeffran College in the early eighties. John was a great player...but, I have lost touch.
Best regards,
