[Intro]
E A B7 E
[Verse 1]
E A Oh, there I stood in the great big city B7 E Where the buildings're tall and the girls're all pretty A Up stepped a man he said come here son N.C. B7 I got a big deal now if you got the mon' A I bought the Brooklyn Bridge B7 E B7 Two dollars, two cigarettes and an autograph picture of Elvis
[Verse 2]
E A Well, I kept my bridge for a day or so B7 E But then my money was a runnin' low A And I tried to make me a sale N.C. B7 But the man done come and he took me to jail A B7 Said I's crazy, laughed at E B7 Told me that a society frowned upon them
[Verse 3]
E A Well, then he stood me up in a front of a judge B7 E I stood there a grinnin' but the judge didn't budge A He said 30 dollars or 30 days N.C. B7 And I looked at him and all I could say A B7 Was all that take 30 dollars, couldn't make that 35 could you E B7 Spend all my money on that bridge
[Verse 4]
E A Well, after 90 days in that man's jail B7 E I still tryin' to make me a sale A Met some cat called Skid Row Pete N.C. B7 A So I traded it off for 52nd Street B7 Big deal, oh big man of action E B7 A big transaction
[Verse 5]
E A I bet the folks back home could never realize B7 E That in a great big town this size A Boy like theirs could own the street B7 N.C. B7 A Spend his days just to keepin' it neat
[Outro]
B7 E Pickin' up cigarette butts, wine bottles E Terrorizing the pedestrians, hoo them pigeons E I bet old Skid Row Pete ain't got no pigeons E On the Brooklyn Bridge...
