                           Dm
They used to tell me I was building a dream    

Am                    G
And so I followed the mob

Am                                Dm
When there was earth to plough or guns to bear

Bm                               E
I was always there, right on the job
[Verse 2]
Am                         Dm
They used to tell me I was building a dream     

Am                    G
With peace and glory ahead

           C                E7
Why should I be standing in line

Am               F      E7  F  E7
Just waiting for bread? 
[Verse 3]
Am                       Bm      A7
Once I built a railroad, made it run

D       G            C     E7
Made it race against time

Once I build a railroad, now it's done

Bdim7          E7      Am
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
[Verse 4]
Am                   Bm     A7
Once I built a tower to the sun

D        G         C          E7
Built of brick and mortar and lime

F              E7    Am        F7
Once I built a tower, now it's done

Bdim7          E7      Am
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
[Bridge]
A7                    Em             Am
Once, in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell

Em           A7   
Full of that Yankee Doodle de-dum

D7
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell

    Am        G            Bm    E7
And I was the kid with the drum
[Verse 5]
Am                            Bm        A7
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al?

D      G          C     E7
It was Al all the time

F              E7        Am        F7
Say, don't you remember?  I'm your pal

Bdim7         E7      Am
Buddy can you spare a dime?
