Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Once I built a railroad, [E]I made it r[Am]un
[Dm]I made it run against ti[Am]me
[Dm]Once I built a railroad,
[Am]and now it's[F] done
[E]Buddy, can you spare a [Am]dime?[E]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Once I built a [E]tower way
up to the [Am]sun[Dm]
Of bricks and mortar, an[Am]d lime
[Dm]Once I built a [Am]tower, and now it's [F]done
[E]Buddy, can you spare a dim[Am]e?[E]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Once in khaki suits
Gee, we look swell
Full of that [Dm]Yankee doodle- de- [E]dum
A [Am]half a million boots went
slogging through Hell
And I was the [Dm]kid with the drum
[E]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Say, don't you remember
[E]you called [Am]me l?[Dm]
It was l all the [Am]time
[Dm]Say, don't you remember
[Am]I was your pal?[F][E]
Buddy, can you spare a [Am]dime?[E]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Once I built a [E]railroad, I made it [A]run[Dm]
I made it run again[Am]st time
[Dm]Once I built a railroad,
[Am]and now it's done[F]
[E]Buddy, can you spare [Am]a dime?
