Am7                       F
Yesterday somehow slipped by me,

   G                      C
it died like an old forgotten friend.

F                       G
  Didn't I just turn sixteen in May?

    E             E           Am         C/G
Now thirty-five's just around   the bend.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
  F                            C/E
I threw the dice in all of the alleys,

Dm                          C
come on, baby, let 'em roll.

    F                        C/E
And boys if you weren't from Flatbush,

Dm                        Gsus4        G
Jack, you didn't have any soul.
[Chorus]
  F            G/F      Em         Am
I used to be a Brooklyn dodger

      F              G       Em       Am
but I ain't a hitter anymore.

    F            E   Am       C/G
You know I had a reputation,

           F                   Esus4          E
I loved to hear the home crowd roar.
[Verse 2]
    Am7                F
You know I never had a nickel,

            G                  C
just my freedom, girl, and the time.

    F                     G
And now all I have is a memory

     E             E      Am      C/G
of a street dodger in his prime.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
     F                     C/E
Now, Halley's Comets are remembered

     Dm                   C
as a flash across the sky.

         F              C/E
And if I had my leather jacket

            Dm                  Gsus4        G
I swear I'd give it all another try.
[Chorus]
  F            G/F      Em         Am
I used to be a Brooklyn dodger

      F              G       Em       Am
but I ain't a hitter anymore.

    F            E   Am       C/G
You know I had a reputation,

           F                   Esus4          E
I loved to hear the home crowd roar.

      F              G       Em       Am
but I ain't a hitter anymore.

    F            E   Am       C/G

I loved to hear the home crowd roar.

I used to be   a Brooklyn dodger

    F*                 C*      D7*
but I don't play there any  -  more.
