Artist: Nicole Atkins
Song: Brooklyn's On Fire!
Album: We Shall Overcome: Neptune City
Tabbed by: Anika Mottershaw
Really simple song that is fun to play and sing. Capo on the 3rd fret. Listen to the
to get the strumming pattern.
The chord I've called C2 = 020010
C
Friday nights on the seventh floor
G
Fourth of July, Brooklyn's on fire!
C
Paper backs on the corner store
G
Fourth of July, Brooklyn's on fire!
Dm G
Looking over the ledge
C C2 Am
The sidewalk traffic starts to spread
Dm G
Summer's begun across the bay
C C2 Am
And no bit of silence remains
Dm G
Oh, Brooklyn's on fire
C C2 Am
And it fills July hearts with desire
Dm G
Sleep will not come, until the morn
C C2 Am
Cause tonight your memories are born
F G
La dee da, la dee da de da de daa
C
And the band's not begun just yet
G
Fourth of July, Brooklyn's on fire!
C
Fifty names you're bound to forget
G
Fourth of July, Brooklyn's on fire!
Dm G
Black and blue on the lakes
C C2 Am
Wear badges from happier days
Dm G
Late in the night, in '84
C C2 Am
Walked in through the old out door
Dm G
Oh, Brooklyn's on fire
C C2 Am
And it fills July hearts with desire
Dm G
Sleep will not come, until the morn
C C2 Am
Cause tonight your memories are born
F G
La dee da, la dee da de da de daa
C
no words
G
Fourth of July, Brooklyn's on fire!
C
no words
G
Fourth of July, Brooklyn's on fire!
Dm G
I'm caught in the way
C C2 Am
Of tears from much happier days
Dm G
When we were young and unafraid
C C2 Am
Of stupid mistakes that we made
Dm G
Oh, Brooklyn's on fire
C C2 Am
And it fills July hearts with desire
Dm G
Sleep will not come, until the morn
C C2 Am
Cause tonight your memories are born
F G
La dee da, la dee da de da de daa
end on C.
