Brooklyn Roads Chords by Neil Diamond

[Am] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [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
_ Swirming into papa's [D] embrace, _ and his whiskers [G] warm on their face
[D] Where's it gone, _ _ _ [A] oh where's it gone _
Two _ [D] _ _ floors above [Gm] the butcher, _ _ [C] _ first door [F] on the right
And _ life filled to the brim as I stood by my window
And looked out [C] on those _ Brooklyn _ _ [D] _ _
[G] roads
[D] _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _
I can still recall, _ _ _ smells of cooking in the hallways _
Rubbers drying in the [D] doorways
And report [G] cards I was always [D] afraid to show
_ _ _ _ [A] _
Mom would come to school, _ _ _ and as I'd sit there softly crying _
He'd say he's just not [D] trying, _ got a good [G] head and feet are flying
[D] But you know yourself, _ _ it's [A] always somewhere else
_ _ _ [D] _
I built me [Gm] a castle, _ _ [C] _
with [F] dragons 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] _ _
_ _ I _ _ [A] _
thought of going back, _ _ and all I'd 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 _ _ _ [D] Brooklyn _ roads
_ _ [G] _
_ Brooklyn [D] roads
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
