Brother Can You Spare A Dime Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

[INTRO]
[Am]

[VERSE 1]
They used to tell me I was [Dm]building a dream
[Am]And so I followed the [G]mob
[Am]When there was earth to plough or [Dm]guns to bear
[Bm]I was always there, right on the [E]job

[VERSE 2]
[Am]They used to tell me I was [Dm]building a dream
[Am]With peace and glory a[G]head
Why should [C]I be standing in [E7]line
[Am]Just waiting for [F]bread? [E7] [F] [E7]

[VERSE 3]
[Am]Once I built a railroad, [Bm]made it [A7]run
[D]Made it [G]race against [C]time [E7]
[F]Once I build a [E7]railroad,[Am] now it's [F7]done
[Bdim7]Buddy, can you [E7]spare a [Am]dime?

[VERSE 4]
[Am]Once I built a tower [Bm]to the [A7]sun
[D]Built of [G]brick and [C]mortar and [E7]lime
[F]Once I built a [E7]tower,[Am] now it's [F7]done
[Bdim7]Buddy, can you [E7]spare a [Am]dime?

[BRIDGE]
[A7]Once, in khaki suits, [Em]gee, we looked [Am]swell
[Em]Full of that [A7]Yankee Doodle de-dum
[D7]Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
And [Am]I was the [G]kid with the [Bm]drum [E7]

[VERSE 5]
[Am]Say, don't you remember, they [Bm]called me [A7]Al?
[D]It was [G]Al all the [C]time [E7]
[F]Say, don't you [E7]remember? [Am] I'm your [F7]pal
[Bdim7]Buddy can you [E7]spare a [Am]dime?
