1st Verse:
(Key of D)
[C]Someday my [G/B]baby, when[Am7] I am a m[G]an,
and ot[F]her's have ta[G]ught me the b[C]est that they c[G]an.
[C]They'll sell me a [G/B]suit and [Am]cut off my h[G]air
and se[F]nd me to w[G]ork in tall buil[C]dings.[G]
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
I'm going to work in tall buildings
2nd Verse
(Key change - up full step to key of E)
[D]When I r[A/C#]etire and my[Bm] life is my o[A]wn,
I ma[G]de all the p[A]ayments, it's t[D]ime to go h[A]ome.
[D]and wonder what ha[A/C#]ppened betw[Bm]ixt and betw[A]een,
When [G]I went to w[A]ork in tall buil[D]dings.[A]
So it's goodbye to the sunshine, goodbye, to the dew
and goodbye to the flowers and goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway, I mustn't be late
I'm going to work in tall buildings
[D] [A/C#] [Bm] [A/Bm]
[G] [Em] [A]

There are differences but if you get that down,
it's not far from it.
Find me, add me.
