D F#m Bm D 'Oh I come from Pittsburgh to study astrology,' G A7 D She said as she stood on my instep, F#m Bm F#m 'I could show you New York with a walk between Bm A7 Fourth Street and Nine.' D F#m Bm D Then out of her coat taking seven harmonicas G A7 D She sat down to play on a doorstep saying F#m Bm F#m Bm 'Come back to my place I will show you the stars A Em A7 and the signs'. Pre chorus:1 Bm D So I followed her into the black lands Bm D Where the window frames peel and flake G And the old Jewish face behind the lace G A7 Even now trying to get to see what's cooking G Just John the Baptist in the park getting laid A7 D A7 D thinking there's no-one look i ng. Chorus:1 G A7 G A7 And its eighty degrees and I'm down on my knees D Bm D Bm in Brooklyn. Verse 2: D F#m Bm D Her house was a dusty collection of rusty G A7 D Confusion with landings and tunnels F#m Bm F#m Bm And leaning bookcases and spaces and faces and A7 things D F#m Bm Where twenty-five Puerto Ricans, Manhattan D Mohicans G A7 D And Jewish-Italian Pawnbrokers F#m Bm F#m Bm Lead their theatrical lives in their rooms in the A Em A7 wings Pre chorus:2 Bm D While outside in the black lands Bm D The violent day runs wild G And the black and white minstrelsrun through the crazy alleys G A7 While the cops go booking G And ruthless toothless agents sneak around and A7 D A7 D there's no-one look i ng Chorus 1: G A7 G And it's eighty degrees and I'm down on my A7 D Bm knees in Brooklyn.

Chorus:2 G A7 G And in the cool evening breeze I was down on my A7 D Bm G D knees in Brooklyn.....
