Terry's Song

Springsteen Bruce

G                                                         C
Well they built the Titanic to be one of a kind, but many ships have ruled
G
the seas
G         G/F#             Em         D                      C
They built the Eiffel Tower to stand alone, but they could build another if
D
they please
G                                       C       G
Taj Mahal, the pyramids of Egypt, are unique I suppose
G             G/F#       Em       D              G
But when they built you, brother, they broke the mold

G                                          C                G
Now the world is filled with many wonders under the passing sun
G         G/F#       Em   D              C                          D
And sometimes something comes along and you know it's for sure the only one
G                                    C                G
The Mona Lisa, the David, the Sistine Chapel, Jesus, Mary, and Joe
G          G/F#      Em      D               G
And when they built you, brother, they broke the mold

C                  G             C                G
When they built you, brother, they turned dust into gold
G             G/F#       Em       D              G
When they built you, brother, they broke the mold

Em                                       Em       Em/F#       G
They say you can't take it with you, but I think that they're wrong
C                                                           D
'Cause all I know is I woke up this morning, and something big was gone
G                                             C                  G
Gone into that dark ether where you're still young and hard and cold
G         G/F#       Em            D         G
Just like when they built you, brother, they broke the mold

G                                   C                        G
Now your death is upon us and we'll return your ashes to the earth
G         G/F#             Em         D                 C              D
And I know you'll take comfort in knowing you've been roundly blessed and cursed
G                                                 C                 G
But love is a power greater than death, just like the songs and stories told
G             G/F#       Em       D              G
And when she built you, brother, she broke the mold

C                                                      Em      Em/f#     G
That attitude's a power stronger than death, alive and burning her stone cold
G         G/F#       Em      D        G
When they built you, brother
