American Tune

	 
[Strophe]
C          F    C    G7   C  G E7      Am   E        Am 
Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused 
C            F  C  G7   C  G E7      Am    E7     Am 
Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused 
            F G          F C               F     C  G  Am   A7 
Aw, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones 
D7        G7                 C      G7  D      G 
Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant 
C  F    C   G    E7       Am   Dm7 G13  C 
So far away from home, so far away from home
[Strophe]
C                  F    C     G7  C    G    E7 
And I don't know a soul who's not been battered 
               Am         E7       Am 
I don't have a friend who feels at ease 
C              F     C      G7  C    G     E7     Am     E7      Am 
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees 
             F  G          F C            F        C    G  Am   A7 
Aw, but it's alright, it's alright for we lived so well so long 
D7    G7                  C    G7    D         G 
Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on  
C F      C      G    E7   Am   Dm7            C      G13         C 
I wonder what's gone wrong,  I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong
[Strophe]
C 
And I dreamed I was dying 
                  G    G7       Am      D7 
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly 
                 G7      F  C                G 
And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly 
                    C 
And I dreamed I was flying 
             G       G7         Am        D7 
And high up above my eyes could clearly see 
              G7        C               G 
The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea 
G7                  C 
And I dreamed I was flying
[Strophe]
C                  F    C    G    C        G 
For we come on the ship they call Mayflower 
E7             Am        E7         Am 
We come on the ship that sailed the moon 
   C           F C  G    C G       E7        Am      E7       Am 
We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune 
             F G           F C         F     C  G  E7   Am 
Aw, but it's alright, it's alright you can't be forever blessed 
D7      G                 C  G7   D       G 
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day 
C       F      C  G        E7   Am       Dm7     C         G13      C 
And I'm trying to get some rest,  that's all I'm trying to get some rest
