G       D/F#       Em7     G   
Someday baby, when I am a man,
    Cadd9         D
and others have taught me
    G               D
the best that they can
         G        D/F#     
They'll sell me a suit
Em7        G
cut off my hair
    Cadd9       D           G           D
and send me to work in tall buildings

         G              D/F#
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
    Em7         G
goodbye to the dew
Cadd9          D
goodbye to the flowers
    G           D
and goodbye to you
    G            D/F#
I'm off to the subway
  Em7          G
I must not be late
    Cadd9     D            G          D
I?m going to work in tall buildings

    G          D/F#    
Now when I?m retired
       Em7        G 
And my life is my own
   Cadd9        D
I made all the payments
     G          D
It's time to go home
    G           D/F#
and wonder what happened
  Em7        G
betwixt and between
    Cadd9       D           G           D
when I went to work in tall buildings

         G              D/F#
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
    Em7         G
goodbye to the dew
Cadd9          D
goodbye to the flowers
    G           D
and goodbye to you
   G            D/F#
I'm off to the subway
  Em7          G
I mustn't be late
Cadd9     D            G          D
Going to work in tall buildings
