    • Verse 1
    They used to tell me 

    I was 
    building 
    a 
    dream 

    And so I 
    followed 
    the mob 


    When there was earth 
    to plow or guns to bear 


    I was always there right 
    on the 
    job 

    Verse 2
    They used 
    to tell 
    me 
    I was building 

    a dream 

    With peace 
    and glory 
    ahead 

    Why should 
    I 
    be standing in 
    line 

    Verse 3
    Just waiting 
    for bread 

    Once 
    I built 
    a railroad, 

    I 
    made it 
    run 

    Made it 
    race 
    again
    st 
    time 

    Once 
    I 
    built 
    a 
    railroad, 

    now 
    it's 
    done 

    Brother, 
    can 
    you 
    spare 
    a 
    dime 

    Verse 4
    Once 
    I 
    built 
    a 
    tower 
    up to the sun 

    Brick 
    and rivet and 
    lime 

    Once I built 
    a tower, now 
    it's 
    done 

    Brother, 
    can 
    you spare 
    a 
    dime? 

    Verse 5
    Once 
    in khaki 
    suit
    s, 

    gee 
    we 
    looked 
    swell 

    Full 
    of that 
    Yankee- 
    Doodly- dum 

    Half 
    a million 
    boots 
    went 

    slogging 
    through 
    Hell 

    And I 
    was 
    the kid 
    with 

    the drum 

    Verse 6
    Say, 
    don't you 
    remember, 

    they 
    called 
    me 
    "Al" 

    It 
    was 
    "Al" 
    all 
    the 
    time 

    Why 
    don't 
    you 
    remember, 

    I'm 
    your 
    pal 

    Say 
    buddy, 
    can 
    you spare 
    a 
    dime 

    Interlude 1












    Verse 7

    Once 
    in khaki 
    suits, 

    ah 
    gee 
    we looked 
    swell 

    Full 
    of 
    that 
    Yankee- 
    Doodly- dum 

    Half 
    a million 
    boots 

    went slogging 
    through 
    Hell 

    And 
    I 
    was 
    the 
    kid 

    with the 
    drum 

    Verse 8
    Oh, say, 
    don't 
    you remember, 

    they called 
    me "Al" 

    It 
    was 
    "Al" 
    all 
    the time 

    Say, 
    don't 
    you 
    remember, 

    I'm 
    your 
    pal 


    Buddy, 
    can 
    you spare 
    a 
    dime

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
