D        G              D
Someday, baby, when I am a man,
        G              D
and other's have taught me
     D              A
the best that they can
    D             G
they'll sell me a suit
                D
and cut off my hair
        G                  D           
and send me to work in tall buildings

           G             D
and it's goodbye to the sunshine
     G          D
goodbye to the dew
     D            A
goodbye to the flowers
    D           G
and goodbye to you
                D
I'm off to the subway
               G
I must not be late
                     D
going to work in tall buildings     

    G        D
now when I retire
     G            D
and my life is my own
   D               A
I made all the payments
    D            G
it's time to go home
                  D
and wonder what happened
               G
betwixt and between
                            D
when I went to work in tall buildings
 
           G                D
and it's goodbye to the sunshine
    G          D
goodbye to the dew
  G              A
goodbye to the flowers
    D           G
and goodbye to you
                D
I'm off to the subway
              G
I mustn't be late
                       D
going to work in tall buildings
