The tab
4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend
They used to tell me I was build-ing a dream
And so I fol-lowed the mob
When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was al-ways there right on the job
They used to tell me I was build-ing a dream
With peace and glo-ry a-head
Why should I be stand-ing in line
Just wait-ing for bread?
REFRAIN
Once I built a rail-road, made it run
Made it race a-gainst time
Once I built a rail-road, now it's done
Broth-er, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tow-er to the sun
Brick and ri-vet and lime
Once I built a tow-er, now it's done
Broth-er, can you spare a dime?
Once in kha-ki suits, gee we looked swell
Full of that Yan-kee-Doo-dle-de-dum
Half a mil-lion boots went slog-gin'
through Hell
I was the kid with the drum
Say, don't you re-mem-ber,
they called me "Al"
It was "Al" all the time
Say don't you re-mem-ber, I'm your pal
Bud-dy, can you spare a dime?
