Am           C6            Dm9        E
They used to tell me I was building a dream 
Am       C6           Dm   G7
And so I followed the mob
C                               Fdim7
When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
      B7                         E7
I was always there, right on the job  
 
Am           C6            Dm9        E
They used to tell me I was building a dream     
Am                   G  G7
With peace and glory ahead
           C                E
Why should I be standing in line
     Am          Dm6  E7
Just waiting for bread? 
 
Am                        E7     A7
Once I built a railroad, made it run
D       G7           C     E7
Made it race against time
D7             E7         Am       Fmaj7
Once I build a railroad - now it's done
B7               E       Am    E7
Brother, can you spare a dime?
 
Am                   E7     A7
Once I built a tower to the sun
D         G7        C     E7
Brick and rivet and lime
D7             E7       Am       Fmaj7
Once I build a tower -- now it's done.
B7               E       Am
Brother, can you spare a dime?
 
BRIDGE:
A7                   Am7
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell 

Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum                             
D9                        G7               G6
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
    F7                     E7
And I was the guy with the drum
 
Am                              E7      A7
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al?
D      G7         C    E7
It was Al all the time
D7             E7        Am       Fmaj7
Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal
B7            E       Am
Buddy can you spare a dime?
