Little By Little chords by Archie Roach

G
When I was a baby we had no home
            C
And we werenâ??t the only family we were not alone
G                                                             D
Daddy built a shelter from the wind and rain
G
     Through the years Iâ??ve been building this home
           C
Gonna build it solid gonna build it strong
           G                               D                 G     C  G
Gonna build it myself Iâ??m an independent man

So Iâ??m singing now
G
Little by little and stone by stone
           C
Gonna build this building on my own
           G                                            D
And nobody can say this is mine but me
G

Little by little and stone by stone
           C
Gonna build this building on my own
           G                             D             G    C   G
And nobody can say this is mine but me

When I was a young man I drifted around
Here and there and from town to town
Getting drunk drinking red red wine
Then one day I realised
When I met that girl with those big brown eyes
Oh I knew sheâ??d be a friend of mine

So Iâ??m singing now
Little by little and stone by stone
Gonna build this building on my own
And nobody can say this is mine but me
Little by little and stone by stone
Gonna build this building on my own
And nobody can say this is mine but me

[instrumental verse - same chords]

G         C                        G
Ainâ??t nobody gonna tear this building down
                     G         C                        D
Ainâ??t nobody gonna tear this building down
            G                    G7
Cos itâ??s built inside of me
           C
Where nobody else can see
                     G        D                         G       C  G
Ainâ??t nobody gonna tear this building down

Well we had some trouble and we had some strife
Had to quit my drinking had to change my life
I had to do it for my family
Now when I quit drinking it got harder still
And I know thereâ??s a way where thereâ??s a will
And I wonâ??t give up, until we all are free.

So Iâ??m singing now
Little by little and stone by stone
Gonna build this building on my own
And nobody can say this is mine but me
Little by little and stone by stone
Gonna build this building on my own
And nobody can say this is mine but me

Ainâ??t nobody gonna tear this building down
Ainâ??t nobody gonna tear this building down
Cos itâ??s built inside of me
Where nobody else can see
Ainâ??t nobody gonna tear this building down

Ainâ??t nobody gonna tear this building down
Ainâ??t nobody gonna tear this building down
Cos itâ??s built inside of me
Where nobody else can see
Ainâ??t nobody gonna tear this building down

Little by little stone by stone
Gonna build this building on my own
And nobody can say this is mine but me
Little by little stone by stone
Gonna build this building on my own
And nobody can say this is mine but me
Nobody but me
