Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]They used to tell me I was
[Dm]building a [Am]dream
And so I followed them [Dm]all[G]
[C]Where there was earth to
plough [Am]or gu[B]ns to bear
I was always there
Right out on [E]the job

[Verse 2]
[Am]
They used to tell me I [Dm]was
building a [Am]dream
With peace and glory [D]ahead[Dm][G]
Why [F]should [C]I be standing in l[E]ine?[Am]
Just waiting for [F]bread
[E][F][E]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Once I built a [Gsus4]railroad[G][Bm]
Made [G#dim]it run[A]
[D]Made it rac[Gsus4]e[F]
[Gsus4]again st [F]tim[C]e[Em][E]

[Am][E][Am][F][Am][Em]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Once I built [C]a tower[Gsus4]
