G
D
A
Oh I come from Pittsburgh
A
G
A
D
She said as she stepped on my instep
Bm
I could show you New York with a walk
F#m
A
between Fourth Street and Nine
D
F#m
Then out of her coat taking
D
Bm
A
seven harmonicas
G
A
D
She sat down to play on a doorstep
Bm
Saying, Come back to my place I will
F#m
A
show you the stars and the signs
B
Bm
D
So I followed her into the black lands
Bm
D
Where the window frames peel and flake
Bm
B
And the old Jewish face
Even now trying to get to see
G
Just John the Baptist in the park getting
A
laid thinking there's no-one looking
D
A
looking
Bm
G
And its eighty degrees and I'm down
A
D
on my knees in Brooklyn
Bm

Verse 2
Bm
D
Her house was a dusty collec
Bm
D
tion of rusty
G
A
D
Confusion with landings and tunnels
Bm
And leaning bookcases and spaces
F#m
A
and faces and things
D
A
Where twenty-five Puerto Puerto Ricans,
D
Bm
Manhattan Mohicans
G
A
And Jewish-Italian Pawnbrokers
Bm
Lead their theatrical lives in
F#m
A
their rooms in the wings
B
D
While outside in the black lands
Bm
B
Bm
D
The viol ent day runs wild
Bm
And the black and white minstrels
run through the crazy
D
A
Alleys while the cops go booking
G
And ruthless toothless agents sneak
A
around and there's no-one looking
D
A
Bm
looking
G
And it's eighty degrees and I'm down
A
D
Bm
on my knees in Brooklyn
Verse 3
E
G
And oh, I'm back in the city
D
F#m
Bm
again
E
You can tell by the smell of the
G
hamburger stand in the rain
B
Verse 4
A
D
F#m
She spoke of astrology while
Bm
D
muttering apologies
G
A
D
For coffee that tasted of hot dogs
Bm
I said, That's OK, mine was cold anyway,
F#m
A
and just grand
D
A
Then she lay on the bed
Bm
D
while the radio fed
G
A
D
Us with records and adverts for cat food
Bm
And I looked at her,
G
F#m
A
holding my thoughts in the palm of my hand
B
D
And outside in the black lands
Bm
B
D
The evening came and went
B
And the bums in the street begging
Bm
D
money for one last drink
Are hanging round the liquor stores
A
trying to get a foot in
G
And the girl from Pittsburgh and I made love
A
D
A
Bm
on a mattress with the new moon looking
G
And in the cool evening breeze I was
A
down on my knees in Brooklyn
