Am                        E      A7
Once I built a railroad, made it run,

Dm    Dm7            Am   Am7
Made it race against time;

Dm             Dm7              Am  Am7  F
Once I build a railroad -- and now it's done.

E7                       Am E7
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Am                   E             A7
Once I built a tower way up to the sun,

Dm         Dm7       Am  Am7
Brick and mortar and lime;

Dm             Dm7      Am  Am7  F
Once I build a tower -- now it's done.

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

             Dm                E
Full of that Yankee Doodle de-dum;

  Am
A Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell --

           Dm           E
I was the kid with the drum.
[Verse]
Am                        E             A7
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al,

Dm        Dm7     Am Am7
It was Al all the time.

Dm             Dm7        Am    Am7  F
Say, don't you remember,  I was your pal.

E7                       Am   E7
Brother can you spare a dime?
[Repeat Verse1]
Am                      E         A7
Once I built a railroad I mad it run,

Dm      Dm7          Am Am7
Made it race against time

Dm             Dm7           Am  Am7  F
Once I built a railroad, and now it's done

E7                      Am Am6
Brother can you spare a dime
