Mood : Emo Mood + Happy Mood (Romantic)
Key : Bb Major
This song reminds me of a place I used to hang out a lot. There used to be a time when I often cycle from Brooklyn to Coney Island. Even nowadays, when I play Grand Theft Auto on PS3, it reminds me of this place called Brooklyn. I like the beat, I like the background music, therefore, I play this song. Apparently, the song that I played before this song was Empire State of Mind.... You know what I mean?
Anyway, this song is really easy to play. You'll need to figure out the right hand yourself, if you wanna know how, just read my previous posts. If you can follow the songs, you'll be able to play any song you hear, even noise. Imagine someone farts and you play it. How nice...
Please click HERE to watch the video while reading this tutorial to learn it. God Bless You. There's no introduction to the song, the melody starts as the intro. Entire song plays on chords Bb, Eb, C, F, it is THAT SIMPLE!
She was covered in leather and gold
Twenty one years old
I lost her in the cold
It’s unfair, she’s out there
(Left Hand on simple octaves, just dance according to the beat, even better if you can play that background effect on high notes, listen to the actual song and you'll know what I mean. Chords are Bb, Eb, C, F)
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
She’s somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
(Left Hand jumps according to the beat on Bold Chords Bb, Eb, C, F)
Little miss perfect sitting at the train stop
Red nike high tops listening to hip-hop
While we were waiting started conversating
Before I got her name along came a train
(Here you Left Hand needs to dance according to the beat rather than just jumping. Notice the changes of your Left Hand progressions? This style is meant to build up the momentum of the song, same chords, Bb, Eb, C, F)
(uuuuuuuh) next stop Brooklyn
(uuuuuuuh) now I’m lookin’
(Here your Left Hand turns very graceful and smooth. Right Hand goes one octave lower to play the background, then jumps back up to play the Melody)
She was covered in leather and gold
Twenty one years old
I lost her in the cold
It’s unfair, she’s out there
(Back to original beat, jumping Octaves on Bb, Eb, C, F)
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
She’s somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
(Rich Chords on Bb, Eb, C, F)
On the street kickin rocks circling the same block
Green farm flatbush checking every corner shop
Tappin’ people’s shoulders askin if they know her
Everyday’s the same back to the train
(Dance according to the beat, like before)
(uuuuuuuh) next stop Brooklyn
(uuuuuuuh) I'm still lookin’
(Here your Left Hand turns very graceful and smooth. Right Hand goes one octave lower to play the background, then jumps back up to play the Melody)
She was covered in leather and gold
21 years old
I lost her in the cold
It’s unfair, she’s out there
(Third time playing this, make your Left Hand much richer, watch my video to understand what I'm talking about here)
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
She’s somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
(Rich Chords! Then Pause)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I wonder if we’ll ever meet again
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I wonder we we’ll ever meet again
Yeah I wonder if we’ll meet again
I hope we do somewhere in Brooklyn
(Really Smooth Left Hand here, but Right Hand you need to play both Background and Melody, background is like the Choir behind)
