G D/F# Em G
Someday my baby, when I am a man,
C Dadd4
and others have taught me

the best that they can

they'll sell me a suit
Em G
they'll cut off my hair
C Dadd4 G5 Dadd4
and send me to work in tall buildings

So it's goodbye to the sunshine
Em G
goodbye to the dew
C Dadd4
goodbye to the flowers

When I'm retired
Em G
My life is my own
C Dadd4
I made all the payments
G5 Dadd4
it's time to go home
G D/F#
and wonder what happened
Em G
betwixt and between
C Dadd4 G5 Dadd4
when I went to work in tall buildings
[Chorus]
G D/F#
So it's goodbye to the sunshine
Em G
goodbye to the dew
C Dadd4
goodbye to the flowers
G5 Dadd4
and goodbye to you

I'm off to the subway
Em G
I must not be late

I'm going to work in tall buildings
