Full Song Lyrics:

(Intro: [C – Am – Em – G] x2)

Verse 1:
[C] Down by the river, [Am] under Brooklyn skies,
[Em] We found our freedom, [G] in each other’s eyes.
[C] We played our music, [Am] for the city’s soul,
[Em] And found our rhythm, [G] where the subway rolls.

Chorus:
[F] Underneath Brooklyn Skies, [C] we’re making our stand,
[G] With guitars in our hands, [Am] and dreams in our heads.
[F] In the heart of the night, [C] with the city’s heartbeat
[G] We sing our songs, [Am] on the concrete.

(Repeat Intro)

Verse 2:
[C] We’ve danced with shadows, [Am] and we’ve kissed the light,
[Em] We’ve painted stories, [G] in the heart of the night.
[C] We are the prudent gang, [Am] chasing our dreams,
[Em] Echoing our laughter, [G] in the city’s screams.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
[Dm] We are the poets, [F] we are the thieve,
[C] In the city that never sleeps, [G] we believe.

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro:
[C] Underneath Brooklyn Skies, [Am] we found our song,
[Em] We’re the Prudent Gang, [G] where we belong.
