G I woke up miles away from home Am In a cheap hotel, I was on my own D Across the bridge, G I could see the lights of Brooklyn The traffic on those New York streets The yellow taxis underneath The shadows of the ever-growing skyline Chorus: C D I'm a hundred thousand miles away B7 C From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay But there ain't no place D G Bm Em D I'd rather be than Brooklyn G Bm Em D Oh, Brooklyn And out my window, I can see A homeless man with cardboard sheets As people go 'bout their daily business But nothing's ever as it seems In this growing land of broken dreams It's dog-eat-dog and nothing lasts forever Chorus Yeah, Brooklyn Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn Chorus: And I'm a hundred thousand miles away From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay But there ain't no place I'd rather be Than Brooklyn, oh, Brooklyn I'm a hundred thousand miles away From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay (There ain't no place I'd rather be) I'm a hundred thousand miles away From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay I'm a hundred thousand miles away From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay But there ain't no place I'd rather be There ain't no place I'd rather be Than Brooklyn Oh, Brooklyn, yeah You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm C D Em G Bm B7 Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
