Brother Can You Spare A Dime chords by Judy Collins

Guitar chords with lyrics

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
A minorAm                         DmDm
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
Bdim7Bdim7          E7E7      A minorAm
Buddy, can you spare a dime?

verse 4
A minorAm                   B minorBm     A7A7
Once I built a tower to the sun
D MajorD        G+G         C majorC          E7E7
Built of brick and mortar and lime
FF              E7E7    A minorAm        F7F7
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?
