AmE7A7 Once I built a railroad, made it run,
 
DG7CE7 Made it race against time;
 
Dm/FE7AmF7 Once I build a railroad -- now it's done.
 
Dm6E7Am Brother, can you spare a dime?
AmE7A7 Once I built a tower to the sun,
 
DG7CE7 Brick and rivet and lime;
 
Dm/FE7AmF7 Once I build a tower -- now it's done.
 
Dm6E7Am Brother, can you spare a dime?
A7 Once, in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell,
 
Gm6A7 Full of that Yankee Doodle de-dum;
 
D7 Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell --
 
AmF7E7 I was the kid with the drum.
AmE7A7 Say, don't you remember, they called me Al?
 
DG7CE7 It was Al all the time.
 
Dm/FE7AmF7 Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal.
