     G
When I was a baby we had no home 
       C
And we weren’t the only family, we were not alone 
    G                                         D
But 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
Goin’ to build it myself, I’m an independent man 

 
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
Well little by little and stone by stone 
      C
Gonna build this building on my own 
      G                 D                G
And nobody can say that this is mine but me 

 
     G
When I was a young man, driftin around 
C
  Here and there from town to town 
G                                  D
  Getting drunk, drinking red, red wine 
G
  Then one day I realized 
       C
When I met this girl with big brown eyes 
G                 D              G
  Oh I knew she’d be a friend of mine 

 
              G
So singin now little by little, 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
And nobody can say that this is mine but me 

 
             G     D                  G
Ain’t nobody gonna tear this building down 
             G     C                  D
Ain’t nobody gonna tear this building down 
     G                         C   
It’s built inside of me, where nobody else can see 
             G     D                  G
Ain’t nobody gonna tear this building down 


        G
Well we had some trouble and we had some strife 
       C
Had to quit my drinking, had to change my life 
G                           D
  I had to do it for my family 
     G
When I quit drinking it got harder still 
      C
But I know there’s a way where there’s a will 
      G               D              G
But I won’t give up until we all are free


          G                C
Little by little, stone by stone
          G             D
Little by little, on my own
          G                C
Little by little, stone by stone
          G             D
Little by little, on my own


            G
Singing now 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
