Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]Wel[G]l, I'm[C] just a
lone[C]some traveler
[C]on a great historical [G]bough
Highly educated, [C]but from history I come
I [F]built the Rock of Ages,
it [C]was in the year of one
That's about [G]the biggest thing
that [C]man has ever [G]done[C]
[G]I b[C]uilt the Garden of Eden,
it [G]was in the year of two
Joined the apple picker's union,
[C]I always paid my due
[F]I'm the one that signed the contract
[C]to raise the rising sun
That's [G]about [C]the[G] biggest thing
[C]that man has ever [Em]done[G][C]
[G]I was s[C]trawballs on the pyramid,
tower of Babel [G]too
Opened up the ocean,
let [C]the migrant children through
[F]Fought a million battles,
and [C]I never lost one
That's about [G]the biggest thing
[C]that a man has ever [G]done[C]
[G]Well, [C]I was in the revolution
when we [G]set this country free
It was me and a couple of Indians
[C]that dumped the Boston T
I [F]won the battle of Valley Forge,
the [C]battle of Valley Run
[G]That's about the biggest thing
that a [C]man has ever [G]done[C]
[G]Well, [C]I'm just a lone trouble
on [G]a great historical bump
Highly educated, [C]from a history I cop
I [F]built the Rock of Ages,
it was [C]in the year of one
[G]That's about the biggest thing
that [C]man has ever [G]done[C]
[G]I s[C]aid t[F]hat's about the biggest thing
and it [C]cannot be undone
[F][C]
