[N] [C#]
[F#]
[C#]
[A#m]
[F#] Down on [C#] Fulcrum Street in Brooklyn [F#] We used to marmalade
[A#m]
[C#] Me, Jimmy and [A#m] 2-Bow [F#] Joe and [Fm] some [C#] other guys
[F#] We were [G#] singing oldies But [C#] they were newbies [B] then
[F#] And today when I play my old 45s I [G#] remember when
[C#] We practiced in the subway [F#] In lobbies and in [C#] halls
Even in the [A#m] doorway Singing doo-wops to the [G#] wall
And [F#] if we went to a [G#] party They [C#] would
[F#] lock ourselves in a bathroom
So [G#] nobody could get in [C#] Cause we were looking for an echo
An [F#] answer to our [G#] sound [C#] A place to be in harmony
[F#] A place we [Fm] almost [C#] found
[A#m] [F#]
[C#] The [F#] girls would gather round us And [C#] how our heads would swell
[F#] We sang songs by the moon rose [C#] The hot toes and the gals
And [F#] when we sang sincerely We [C#] really [C] sang it high
[B]
Even [D#m] though it was falsetto We almost reached [G#] the sky
[A] We've [D] seen a lot of changes since 1955
[A]
And a lot of [B] arrangements we [G] used to harmonize
[G#]
Now we've [G] turned into [G#]
oldies [A] We were newbies
[B]
[F#] And today when I [G] play my old [F#] 45s I remember when
I used [A] to sing with my friends We were [D] looking for an echo
[G] An answer to our [A] sound [D] A place to be in harmony
[G] A place we [A] almost [D] found
Looking for an echo [G] An answer to [A] our sound
[D] Looking for [Bm] an echo [G] An answer to [A] our sound
[D] Looking for [Bm] an echo [G] An answer to [A] our sound
[Bm] Looking for an echo [G] An answer to our sound
[D] Looking for an [Bm] echo [G] An answer to [A] our sound
[D] Looking for an [B] echo [G] An answer to our [F#m] [D] sound
Looking [B] [G]
[A] for [D]
[Bm] an echo An [G] answer to our sound
An answer to our [A] sound
[D] Looking for an [Bm] echo
[G] An answer to [A] our sound
[D] Looking for an echo
[G] An answer to our [D] sound
Looking for an echo
[G] An answer to [A] our sound
[D] Looking for [Bm] [G] an echo
An answer to our [F#] sound
[D] [G]
