IN TALL BUILDINGS

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

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

[Key change - up a full step to E]

E               B/D#          C#m         B
now when I retire and my life is my own
   A                  B                E             B
I made all the payments, it's time to go home
    E                   B/D#          C#m          B
and wonder what happened betwixt and between
    A               B                E             B
when I went to work in tall buildings

and it's goodbye to the sunshine, goodbye to the dew
goodbye to the flowers and goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway, I mustn't be late
going to work in tall buildings

chords [relative to the capo]
A/C# = x20003
B/D# = x42220 or x4222x
