Intro :
Cm G7sus Fm G7sus G7
Cm Fm
They used to tell me I was building a dream,
Cm Fm
and so I followed the mob,
Cm C7 F
When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear,
Fm G7
I was always there right on the job.
Cm Fm
They used to tell me I was building a dream,
Cm A#7
with peace and glory ahead,
Cm G#7 G7 Cm
Why should I be standing in line,
G7
just waiting for bread ?
Cm G7 C7
Once I built a railroad, made it run,
F A#7 D# G7
Made it race against time;
Fm G7 Cm G#7
Once I build a railroad -- now it's done.
Fm6 G7 Cm
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Cm G7 C7
Once I built a tower to the sun,
F A#7 D# G7
Brick and rivet and lime;
Fm G7 Cm G#7
Once I build a tower -- now it's done.
Fm6 G7 Cm
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Bridge :
C7
Once, in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell,
A#m6 C7
Full of that Yankee Doodle de-dum;
F7
Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell --
Cm G#7 G7
I was the kid with the drum.
Cm G7 C7
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al?
F A#7 D# G7
It was Al all the time.
Fm G7 Cm G#7
Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal.

Buddy can you spare a dime?
