Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]This is a tune of John's
that I've loved for years
It's, it's pretty sad
There's probably a fair number
of people that quit their jobs
Because of this song
This is "In tall building[D]s"[G][D][G]
[Em][G][C][D][G][D][Em][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]Someday, [D]baby, [G]when I a[Em]m a man[G]
And oth[Am]er s [C]have t[D]aught me
the [G]be st that they [Em]can
[D]They'll sel[G]l me a suit,
they'll [Em]cut off my [G]hair
[C]Send me to [D]work in tall
[G]buildings[D][Em]
[D]And it's

[Verse 3]
[G]goodbye to the [D]sunshine
[G]Goodbye[Em] to the dew[G]
[C]Goodbye [D]to the flowers
[C]And [G]goodbye to [D]you
