Little By Little

• G

         G 
When I was a baby we had no home 
            C 
And we weren't the only family we were not alone 
G                                                             D 
Daddy built a shelter from the wind and rain 
G 
     Through the years I've been building this home 
           C 
Gonna build it solid gonna build it strong 
           G                               D                 G     C  G 
Gonna build it myself I'm an independent man 

So I'm singing now 
G 
Little by little and stone by stone 
           C 
Gonna build this building on my own 
           G                                            D 
And nobody can say this is mine but me 
G 
Little by little and stone by stone 
           C 
Gonna build this building on my own 
           G                             D             G    C   G 
And nobody can say this is mine but me 

When I was a young man I drifted around 
Here and there and from town to town 
Getting drunk drinking red red wine 
Then one day I realised 
When I met that girl with those big brown eyes 
Oh I knew she'd be a friend of mine 

So I'm singing now 
Little by little and stone by stone 
Gonna build this building on my own 
And nobody can say this is mine but me 
Little by little and stone by stone 
Gonna build this building on my own 
And nobody can say this is mine but me 

Instrumental verse - same chords 

                     G         C                        G 
Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down 
                     G         C                        D 
Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down 
            G                    G7 
Cos it's built inside of me 
           C 
Where nobody else can see 
                     G        D                         G       C  G 
Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down 

Well we had some trouble and we had some strife 
Had to quit my drinking had to change my life 
I had to do it for my family 
Now when I quit drinking it got harder still 
And I know there's a way where there's a will 
And I won't give up, until we all are free. 

So I'm singing now 
Little by little and stone by stone 
Gonna build this building on my own 
And nobody can say this is mine but me 
Little by little and stone by stone 
Gonna build this building on my own 
And nobody can say this is mine but me 

Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down 
Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down 
Cos it's built inside of me 
Where nobody else can see 
Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down 

Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down 
Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down 
Cos it's built inside of me 
Where nobody else can see 
Ain't nobody gonna tear this building down 

Little by little stone by stone 
Gonna build this building on my own 
And nobody can say this is mine but me 
Little by little stone by stone 
Gonna build this building on my own 
And nobody can say this is mine but me 
Nobody but me
