Chords for Brooklyn Roads Neil Diamond (1968)

[Am] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [D] _ [A] If I close my eyes I _ could almost hear my mother
_ Calling me, go find your brother [D] _ That is home and [G] it's time for supper, [D] hurry
on And _
_ _ [A] _ I see two boys _ [Bm] _ [A] _ racing up two flights of
_ _ staircases Swimming in two papa's [D] embrace
_ And there's whiskers [G] warm on their [D] face Where's it gone, _ _ _ [A] oh where's it gone? _ _
_ _ [D] _ Two floors above [Gm] the butcher _ [C] _ First door [F] on the right _
And light filled to the brim As I stood by my window
And looked out [C] on those _ _ _ Brooklyn [D] _ _
[G] roads [D] [G] I _ _ [A] _
can still recall
The _ smells of cooking in the hallways _ Rubbles drying in the [D] doorways
And report [G] cards I was always [D] afraid to show _ _ _ _ [A] _
Mom had come to school _ _ _
And as I sit there softly crying _ He should say he's just not [D] trying _
Got a good [G] head if he don't lie [D] But you know yourself
It's _ [A] always somewhere else _ _ _ [D] _
I built me [Gm] a castle
_ [C] With _ dragons [F] and kings _ And I'd ride off with them
As I stood by [Dm] my window And looked [C] out on those _ _ Brooklyn _ [D] _ _ [G] roads
[D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
Thought of going back And _ all that see are strangers' [D] faces
[A] And all the scars that love [D] erases But as my mind walks [G] through those places
[D] I'm wondering _ _ what's [F] _ _ [A] come of them _ _ Some _ [D] _ _
other [Gm] young boy _ [C] come home [F] to my room
_ Does _ he dream what I did As he stands by my window
And looks [C] out on those _ _ _ Brooklyn [D] _ roads
_ _ [G] _
_ Brooklyn [D] roads
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
