American Tune

Many's the time I've been (E)mistaken I and have a many times confused.

I Yes, and I've (C)often felt (G)(C)forsaken (E7)and (Am)(E7)certainly misused.

Oh, but it's (F)I'm (G)alright, I'm (F)(C)alright,

I'm just (F)weary (G)to (G#dim7)my (Am)bones.

(G)Still, you don't expect to be (C)bright (G)and (D)(G)bonvivant (C)so (F)far (C)(G)away from home,

so (C)far (G)away from (C)home.

I don't know a soul who's not been (E)battered,

I don't have a friend who feels at ease.

I don't know a (C)dream that's not been (G)(C)shattered (E7)or (Am)driven (E7)to its knees.

Oh, but it's (F)(G)alright, right, it's (F)(C)alright,

for we (F)lived so (G)well (G#dim7)so (Am)long.

(G)Still, you when I think of the (C)road (G)we're (D)trav'lin (G)on,

(C)I (F)(C)wonder (G)what's gone wrong, so (C)far (G)away from (C)home.

I don't know a

(Am)I can't (Dm7)help it, I (C)wonder

what's gone wrong.

And I dreamed I was dying,

I dreamed that my (G)soul rose (Ebdim)unexpectedly,

and looking back (G)down at me,

smiled reassuringly.

And I dreamed I was (C)flying,

and high up (G)above my eyes could (Ebdim)clearly see the Statue of (G)Liberty sailing away to sea,

and I dreamed I was (C)flying.

We come on the (G)other (D)working (G)day,

(C)and I'm (E)trying to get some rest.

That's all I'm (G)trying to get some (C)rest.
