WORKING ON THE BUILDING

(E)  (B7) (E)

Well I'm working on the building,
(Em) It's a true foun(E)dation.
I'm a holding up the bloodstains,
Ready for my (B7) Lord.
Well I never get (E) tired, tired, (Em) tired,
Workin' on the (A7) building.
I'm goin' up to (Em) heaven,
Oh, oh, yeah to get my (E) reward.

WORKING ON THE BUILDING

(E)  (B7) (E)

Well I'm working on the building,
(Em) It's a true foun(E)dation.
I'm holding up the bloodstained
Banner for my (B7) Lord.
Well I never get (E) tired, tired, (Em) tired,
Workin' on the (A7) building.
I'm goin' up to (Em) heaven,
Oh, oh, yeah to get my (E) reward.
