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
