E5
Kaizer of steel, steamship and wheel
 C              D   E B5
Master of land and ocean
E5
Owner of souls, railroads and coals
 C              D    E   B5
Let us adress your devotion
A5                E5
Harken old king, listen old thing
 A5                E5
Softly we sing and lo'

[Chorus]
F5                 E5
Oh, what a pal was Gary
F5                 E5
Oh, what a pal was he
F5
Time rambles on
F5
Hush, we are gone
F5
Gary, almighty dream

[Verse 2]
E5
Ribbon of steel,glowing red, unreal
C               D  E  B5
Down in the ????? furnace
E5
Searing the womb, a tearing of tomb??
C            D   E B5
you rejoin our skirmish??
A5                   E5
12 hours a day, for what's the pay
A5                      E5
that's why we sing and, lo'

[Chorus]
F5                 E5
Oh, what a pal was Gary
F5                 E5
Oh, what a pal was he
F5
Time rambles on
F5
Pretty soon we're all gone
F5
Gary, almighty dream

[Verse 3]
E5
A contended cigar, smokestacks and bars
    C              D     E  B5
The criminals workout in hiding
E5
Sparks wagons spit, in a smoke battered fit
 C                D  E B5
Home of the Jackson fire
A5                 E5
Gary I hope you're proud
        A5                           E5
Of the smoke and the streets and the crowd

[Chorus]
F5                 E5
Oh, what a pal was Gary
F5                 E5
Oh, what a pal was he
F5
Time rambles on
F5
Pretty soon we're all gone
F5
Gary, infernal dream
