Intro: A minorAm

verse 1
              DmDm
They used to tell me I was building a dream
A minorAm          G+G
And so I followed the mob
A minorAm                DmDm
When there was earth to plough or guns to bear
B minorBm                E MajorE
I was always there, right on the job


verse 2

They used to tell me I was building a dream
A minorAm          G+G
With peace and glory ahead
      C majorC        E7E7
Why should I be standing in line
A minorAm        FF   E7E7 FF E7E7
Just waiting for bread?

verse 3
A minorAm            B minorBm   A7A7
Once I built a railroad, made it run
D MajorD    G+G      C majorC   E7E7
Made it race against time
FF       E7E7    A minorAm    F7F7
Once I build a railroad, now it's done

Buddy, can you spare a dime?


verse 4
A minorAm          B minorBm   A7A7
Once I built a tower to the sun

Built of brick and mortar and lime

Once I built a tower, now it's done
Bdim7Bdim7     E7E7   A minorAm
Buddy, can you spare a dime?


Bridge
A7A7          E minorEm       A minorAm
Once, in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell
E minorEm      A7A7
Full of that Yankee Doodle de-dum
D7D7
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
  A minorAm    G+G      B minorBm  E7E7
And I was the kid with the drum


Verse 5
A minorAm              B minorBm    A7A7
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al?
D MajorD   G+G     C majorC   E7E7
It was Al all the time
FF       E7E7    A minorAm    F7F7
Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal
Bdim7Bdim7     E7E7   A minorAm
Buddy can you spare a dime?
