Verse 1:
 5     6   -6    6   6 6 6   6 5  -6  6  6  4    
Well they built the Titanic to be one of a kind 
 4  5 -4  4     4     4    -3’ 3      5     5
But many ships have ruled the seas.  They built 
 5   5 -4  5 -4  4   -4   4  4     3   4     4
The Eiffel Tower to stand alone, but they could 
 4    4 4 4   4   -4    3        -6  6 6    5
build another if they pleased.  Taj Mahal, the
-6 6  6   6  5 4    4   -4 4  4  4  4     3
pyramids of Egypt, are unique,I suppose. But 
 4     4   5    -4   4 -4 4    5     5   -4 
when they built you, brother, they broke the 
 4
mold.

Verse 2
Now the world is filled with many wonders under the passing sun. But
sometimes something comes along and you know it’s for sure the only
one.  The Mona Lisa, the David, the Sistine Chapel,
Jesus, Mary, and Joe.  And when they built you, brother, they broke
the mold.

 5     6   -6    6  (56) 4     6  (6-6)   6   
When they built you brother, they turned dust 
6 5  (65-44) 4     4    5   -4   (4-4) 4
into gold.  When they built you, brother,
  3    5   -4   4       5   6 (6-6) 6     6
they broke the mold.  They say you can’t take
5   6   (5-44) 4  -6   6    6   (6-5)    (65)    
it with you,   but I think that they’re wrong.  
 4     -4  4  4    4 4  4   -4  4    4  -3
Cause, All I know is I woke up this morning
-3  4   4     4   2    3       6  -6 6  6
and something big was gone.  Gone into that
 6   6 5    5      5     -4    -4    4   4   -3
dark ether where you’re still young and hard and
  4     4     4   4     4    5    -4  (4-4) 4   
Cold.  Just like when they built you, brother, 
 3    5     -4   4
they broke the mold.

verse 3:

Now your death is upon us and we’ll return your ashes to the earth. 
And I know you’ll take comfort in knowin’ you’ve been roundly blessed
and cursed.  But love is a power greater than
Death, just like the songs and stories told.  And when she built you,
brother, she broke the mold.
5  6  -6 6  6    6  6 6   -6  6    6    4   -5   
A bad attitude’s a power stronger than death,oh, 
 5    -4   -4  4   4    4     4
I’ve been burnin’ or stone cold.
 4     4    5    -4  (4-4) 4
When they built you, brother
