[Verse]
G * Em *
They say I'm too young to love you
C *
I don't know what I need
They think I don't understand
G * F * G *
The freedom land of the seventies
Em *
I think I'm too cool to know ya
C *
You say I'm like the ice I freeze
I'm churning out novels like
G * F * Em*
Beat poetry on amphetamines
C * Em *
I say
F *
I say
[Chorus]
C G
Well, my boyfriend's in the band
F C
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
F C
I've got feathers in my hair
F Em
I get down to Beat poetry
C G
And my jazz collection's rare
F C
I can play almost anything
F C
I'm a Brooklyn baby
F Em
I'm a Brooklyn baby

[Verse]
G * Em *
They say I'm too young to love you
C *
They say I'm too dumb to see
They judge me like a picture book
G * F * G *
By the colors like they forgot to read
Em *
I think we're like fire and water
C *
I think we're like the wind and sea
You're burning up, I'm cooling down
Am *
You're up, I'm down
Am/B * Am/D * Em *
You're blind, I see
C * Em *
But I'm free
F *
I'm free
[Chorus]
C G
Well, my boyfriend's in the band
F C
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my hair

I get down to Beat poetry
C G
And my jazz collection's rare
F C
I can play almost anything
F C
I'm a Brooklyn baby
F Em
I'm a Brooklyn baby
[Bridge]
C * Em *
I'm talking about my generation
G *
Talking about that newer nation
And if you don't like it
Am * Am/B * Am/D * Am/E *
You can beat it, beat it, baby
C * Em *
You never liked the way I said it
G *
If you don't get it, then forget it
Am * Am/B * Am/D *
Cause I don't have to fucking explain it
[Chorus]
C G
Well, my boyfriend's in the band
F C
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
F C
I've got feathers in my hair
F Em
I get high on hydroponic weed
C G
And my jazz collection's rare
F C
I get down to beat poetry
F C
I'm a Brooklyn baby
F Em
I'm a Brooklyn baby
[Instrumental]
C G F C F C F Em
[Chorus]
C G
Yeah my boyfriend's pretty cool
F C
But he's not as cool as me
F C
Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby
F Em
I'm a Brooklyn baby
