American Tune piano leadsheet with chords
Many's the time I've been mistaken I and have a many times con fused.
I Yes, and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused.
Oh, but I'm alright, it's I'm alright,
I'm just weary so to my bones.
Still, you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant so far away from home,
so far away from home.
I don't know a soul who's not been battered,
I don't have a friend who feels at ease.
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to its knees.
Oh, but it's right, right, it's I'm alright,
for we lived ry so well so long.
Still, you when I think of the road we're trav'ling on,
I wonder what's gone wrong.
so far away from home.
I don't know a
I can't help it, I wonder
what's gone wrong.
And I dreamed I was dying,
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly,
and looking back down at me,
smiled reassuringly.
And I dreamed I was flying,
and high up above my eyes could clearly see the Statue of Liberty sailing away to sea,
and I dreamed I was flying.
We come on the ship they call the Mayflow'r,
we come on the ship that sailed the moon.
We come in the age's most uncertain hours and sing an American tune.
Oh, and it's alright,
it's alright, it's alright.
You can't be forever blessed.
Still, tomorrow's goin' to be another working day,
and I'm trying to get some rest.
That's all, I'm trying to get some rest.
