Brooklyn Roads

INTRO: A

#1.
A
If I close my eyes, I can almost 
hear my mother,
callin', Neil, go find your brother,
 D
 Daddy's home,
         G                      D
and it's time for supper, hurry on.
A
And I see two boys racin' up two 
flights of staircase,
                        D
squirmin' into Papa's embrace and 
his whiskers warm
G                         D      
on their face, where's it gone? 
              A
Oh, where's it gone?

CHORUS:
D                    G        C 
Two floors above the butcher, 
                F
first door on the right.
F
And life filled to the brim as I 
stood by my window
                  C               
and looked out on those, Brooklyn 
D
Roads.

#2.
A
I can still recall the smells of 
cookin' in the hallways.
                               D   
Rubbers drying in the doorways and 
             G
report cards I was
        D
always afraid to show.
A
Mama'd come to school and as I sit 
there softly crying,
teacher'd say, he's just not trying,
 D
 got a good head
   G
if he'd apply it.
        D                          
But you know yourself, it's always 
A
somewhere else.

CHORUS:
  D          Gm     C            
I built me a castle with dragons 
    F
and kings and I'd ride

off with them as I stood by my 
window and looked out
   C              D
on those Brooklyn roads.

A
Thought of going back but all I'd 
see are stranger's

faces and all the scars that love 
erases.
D                    G           
But as my mind walks through 
             D
those places I'm wonderin',
       A
what's come of them?

OUTRO:
D                     Gm  C     
Does some other young boy come 
          F
home to my room?

Does he dream what I did as he 
stands by my window and
             C     Bm     
looks out on those Brook..lyn 
Em  D      G        D     G D
roads..Brooklyn roads.
