[Verse 1]
G D/F# Em G
Someday my baby, when I am a man,
C Dsus4
and others have taught me
G Dsus4
the best that they can
G D/F#
they'll sell me a suit
Em G
they'll cut off my hair
C Dsus4 G Dsus4
and send me to work in tall buildings
[Chorus]
G D/F#
So it's goodbye to the sunshine
Em G
goodbye to the dew
C Dsus4
goodbye to the flowers
G Dsus4
and goodbye to you
G D/F#
I'm off to the subway
Em G
I must not be late
C Dsus4 G Dsus4
I'm going to work in tall buildings
[Verse 2]
G D/F#
When I'm retired
Em G
My life is my own
C Dsus4
I made all the payments
G Dsus4
it's time to go home
G D/F#
and wonder what happened
Em G
betwixt and between
C Dsus4 G Dsus4
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 Dsus4
goodbye to the flowers
G Dsus4
and goodbye to you

I'm off to the subway
Em G
