C       Em7       Am     G
Someday, baby, when I am a man
      F            G
And other's have taught me
    C               G
The best that they can
         C        Em7
They'll sell me a suit
     Am         G
And cut off my hair
     F          G              C      G
And send me to work in tall buildings

[Chorus]
    C                     Em7
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
   Am            G
Goodbye to the dew
    F             G
Goodbye to the flowers
      C         G
And goodbye to you
    C            Em7
I'm off to the subway
    Am         G
I must not be late
 F        G              C       G
Going to work in tall buildings

[Verse]
 C            Em7
Now when I retire
    Am            G
And my life is my own
   F               G
I've paid all of my debts
     C              G6
and It's time to go home
     C              Em7
And wonder what happened
  Am            G
Betwixt and between
     F          G             C         G
When I went to work in tall buildings

[Chorus]
    C                     Em7
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
   Am            G
Goodbye to the dew
    F             G
Goodbye to the flowers
      C         G
And goodbye to you
    C            Em7
I'm off to the subway
    Am         G
I must not be late
 F        G              C       G
Going to work in tall buildings
