Verse:1
C# Fm A#m C#
'Oh I come from Pittsburgh to study astrology,'
F# G#7 C#
She said as she stood on my instep,
Fm A#m Fm
'I could show you New York with a walk between
A#m G#7
Fourth Street and Nine.'
C# Fm A#m C#
Then out of her coat taking seven harmonicas
F# G#7 C#
She sat down to play on a doorstep saying
Fm A#m Fm A#m
'Come back to my place I will show you the stars
G# D#m G#7
and the signs'.
Pre chorus:1
A#m C#
So I followed her into the black lands
A#m C#
Where the window frames peel and flake
F#
And the old Jewish face behind the lace
F# G#7
Even now trying to get to see what's cooking
F#
Just John the Baptist in the park getting laid
G#7 C# G#7 C#
thinking there's no-one look i ng.
Chorus:1
F# G#7 F# G#7
And its eighty degrees and I'm down on my knees
C# A#m C# A#m
in Brooklyn.
Verse 2:
C# Fm A#m C#
Her house was a dusty collection of rusty
F# G#7 C#
Confusion with landings and tunnels
Fm A#m Fm A#m
And leaning bookcases and spaces and faces and
G#7
things
C# Fm A#m
Where twenty-five Puerto Ricans, Manhattan
C#
Mohicans
F# G#7 C#
And Jewish-Italian Pawnbrokers
Fm A#m Fm A#m
Lead their theatrical lives in their rooms in the
G# D#m G#7
wings
Pre chorus:2
A#m C#
While outside in the black lands
A#m C#
The violent day runs wild
F#
And the black and white minstrelsrun through the crazy alleys
F# G#7
While the cops go booking
F#
And ruthless toothless agents sneak around and
G#7 C# G#7 C#
there's no-one look i ng
Chorus 1:
F# G#7 F#
And it's eighty degrees and I'm down on my
G#7 C# A#m
knees in Brooklyn.
Bridge:
A#m6 F# C#maj7 A#m
And oh, I'm back in the city again.
A#m6 F#
You can tell by the smell of the hamburger stand
F#7sus4 G#7
in the rain....
Verse: 3
C# Fm A#m C#
She spoke of astrology while muttering apologies
F# G#7 C#
For coffee that tasted of hot dogs
Fm A#m Fm A#m
I said 'That's OK, mine was cold anyway, and
G#7
just grand'
C# Fm A#m C#
Then she lay on the bed while the radio fed us with
F# G#7 C#
Records and adverts for cat food
Fm A#m Fm
And I looked at her, holding my thoughts in the
A#m G# D#m G#7
palm of my hand
Pre chorus:3
A#m C#
And outside in the black lands
A#m C#
The evening came and went
F#
And the bums in the street begging money for one
last drink
F#
Are hanging round the liquor stores trying to get
G#7
a foot in
F#
And the girl from Pittsburgh and I made love on a
F# G#7 C# G#7 C#
mattress with the new moon look i ng.
Chorus:2
F# G#7 F#
And in the cool evening breeze I was down on my
G#7 C# A#m F# C#
knees in Brooklyn.....
