Em              C    B7          E7
Once I Built A Railroad, Made It Run
A        D7  G7          B7
Made it race against time
Am              B7      Em         C
Once i built a railroad, now it's done
Am              B7       Em  C B7
Brother can you spare a dime?

Once I built a tower to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother can you spare a dime?

Chorus:
E
Once in khaki suits
Dm                  E
Gee, we looked swell
Dm                             E
Full of that yankee doodle de dum
A7                         Em         A7
Half a million boots went slogging through hell
Em         C#           F#
I was the kid with the drum
Em                       B7            E7
Say don't you remember, they called me Al
A7     D7          G  B7
It was Al all the time
Am               B      Em        C
Say don't you remember, i'm your pal!
Am             B7      Em   C B7
Buddy can you spare a dime? - x3
