Brooklyn Roads: Neil Diamond
#58 on BB Hot 100 on UNI Records in 1968.
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
If I close my eyes, I can almost hear my mother,
                                     D
callin', Neil, go find your brother, 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                G
squirmin' into Papa's embrace and his whiskers warm 
               D                    A
on their face, where's it gone? Oh, where's it gone?
[Chorus]
D7                    Gm      C                 F
Two floors above the butcher, first door on the right.
Fmaj7                  F7         Bbm7
And life filled to the brim as I stood by my window
                  C               D
and looked out on those, Brooklyn Roads.
[Verse 2]
A
I can still recall the smells of cookin' in the hallways.
                               D                G
Rubbers drying in the doorways and report cards I was 
        D
always afraid to show.
A
Mama'd come to school and as I sit there softly crying,
                                     D
teacher'd say, he's just not trying, got a good head 
   G
if he'd apply it.
        D                          A
But you know yourself, it's always somewhere else.
[Chorus]
D7           Gm     C                F              Fmaj7
I built me a castle with dragons and kings and I'd ride 
         F7                    Bbm7
off with them as I stood by my window and looked out 
   C              D
on those Brooklyn roads.
[Interlude]
G D G C F Bb C D
[Verse 3]
A
Thought of going back but all I'd see are stranger's 
faces and all the scars that love erases.
D                    G                        D
But as my mind walks through those places I'm wonderin',
       A
what's come of them?
[Outro]
D7              Gm         C               F
Does some other young boy come home to my room?
        Fmaj7        F7                     Bbm7
Does he dream what I did as he stands by my window and 
             C     D      G        D     G D
looks out on those Brook..lyn roads..Brooklyn roads.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
