I'm The Man That Built the Bridges — Words and Music by Tom Paxton
With help from Chordify (amazing what you can do with technology these days!)
E B E
E A E
I cleared the rocks and timber from the wild New England shore,
E B
I labored long and hard to make it grow.
E A E
I built the first log cabins and I raised a family,
E B E
Told King George and all his Redcoats where to go.
[Chorus] A
I'm the man that built the bridges.
E
I'm the man that laid the track.
B
I'm the man that built this country
E
With my shoulders and my back.
A
I'm the man that built the power dams,
E
And oiled all the cars,
B
And I laid down the cornerstone
E
For this great land of ours.
E A E
I'm the boy that drove the wagons when the people headed west,
E B
Dug canals and pulled the barges on their way.
E A E
I built and ran the factories, cut the timber for your homes,
E B E
Drove the oxen when I cut and baled the hay.
[Chorus]
E A E
I built the old sod shanties and I raised the prairie towns,
E B
I made the railroad run from sea to sea.
E A E
I raised and drove the cattle to feed a growing land,
E B E
And the mining towns are there because of me.
[Chorus]
E A E
I stoked the mighty furnaces and rolled the flamin' steel,
E B
I operated oil rigs and wells.
E A E
And when the country needed them, I built the planes and tanks,
E B E
To send the tyrants down to fry in Hell.
[Chorus]
E A E
Well, my face may not be pretty and my clothes are not the best,
E B
And there ain't no bigshots in my family tree,
E A E
But if you're wonderin' who it was that made this country great,
E B E
You don't have to look no further, it was me.
