This is the acoustic version off his album Excerpts from a B-Movie. Pluck the verse riff and strum the bridge and chorus. Pretty simple but an amazing song.

I asked Mom why the willow cries
She said he’s tellin’ the sun goodnight
Trees droop, leaves bend and break
Our oak is sobbin’ down by the lake
I won’t be home
Bridge:
G C Am/F C G
Not even to remember
Not even to remember

Chorus:
F C F C F C F G
The bridge to Terabithia, it’s crashin’ down
I’m gatherin’ the pieces and you’re all around
Verse:
You said you’d never leave this place
Never leave this place
Your swing hangs from the elm alone
Our names in an aspen
Bridge:
They’re just blackbones
They’re just blackbones
Chorus:
The bridge to Terabithia came crashin’ down
We still a queen here, so come claim your crown
Verse:
I asked Mom why the willow cries
She said he’s tellin’ the sun goodnight
Bridge:
So goodnight
So goodnight
