I'll return to the land
Where the water tunnels

clearly down the stream

Where the birds sport and play

I'll return, there for me in my
G
C
D
Am
D

dreams
D

in wonder I did stare
G
D
At the strangest sights I'd
Am

ever seen before

Sure the buildings grew so high

And horse -less carts
Am
D
C
that made a griffon roar

for all her young ones are all here

And living in this place they
D

call Brooklyn

laying miles of railway track

underneath the ground

Where the birds sportively
C

above the green fields

I'll return and live only in my dreams
