Brooklyn Tabs & Lyrics by Steely Dan
Brooklyn
guitar tabs lyrics
This is to expand upon the work of the first tabber. Some have complained that it's
to read and I'm putting it in the usual UG format with chord diagrams:
Intro: C11 F Am7 D
C11 F C
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 C
A race of angels bound with one another
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 G
A dish of dollars laid out for all to see
Em7 G9 C
Am7
A tower room at Eden Rock, his golf at noon for free
C11 F Am7 D
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
C11 F C
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 C
His lady's aching to bring a body down
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 G
She daily preaches on where she wants to be
Em7 G9 C
Am7
An evening with a movie queen, a face we all have seen
C11 F Am7 D
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
C11 F C
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 C
A case of aces done up loose for dealing
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 G
A piece of island coolin' in the sea
Em7 G9 C
Bb Am7
The whole of time we gain or lose, and power enough to choose
C11 F Am7 D
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
C11 F C
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
Chord Diagrams:
C11 - x33333
F - 133211
Am7 - 002010
C - x32010
Fmaj7 - 133210
Em7 - 022033
Dm7 -x00211
G - 320033
G9 - 3x0201
Bb - x13331
This is how I play it--maybe not exactly how it sounds on the original recording, but
darn close. I find it difficult to play Bb so I sometimes use the fifth and when I'm
adventurous I use Bb13 (x20233). A flashy technique I also like is to bar the C11 chord
your thumb then quckly jump back to the barred F chord during he chorus. Listen to the
over and over and you'll get the rhythm. I play it a little more uptempo than the Dan.
