What I'm calling an F# 'chord' is 
just a transition between the G and 
Em:

[Intro]
G Em C G (2x)


[Verse 1]
G         Em     C             
I lit the fire, poured out the 
G
bottle
G         Em        C           
Asked the moonlight what it 
       D
might have seen
Em     Bm       C          D
If it answered, I can't remember
       G    F# Em D   C        G
I fell down in to the American Dream


[Verse 2]
G         Em  C          
Been too long in the Devil's 
    G
workshop
G                  Em       
So I'm driving the backbone to 
   C             D
change the scenery
Em            Bm       C 
Here come the horses through 
         D
purgatory
          G    F# Em  D   C     
They fell down in to the American 
   G
Dream

[Chorus]
D                     C        G
Summer time sunshine, shine on me
C       G         D
Show me where I'm going


[Verse 3]
G            Em         C       G
I'll find an old friend in El Dorado
G               Em        
Like Harry Dean Stanton on a 
   C         D
drive-in screen
Em           Bm      C          
A tumbleweed blowing through 
    D
Paris, Texas
        G    F# Em D    C       
He fell down in to the American 
G
Dream


[Instrumental]
G F# Em D C (x4)


[Verse 4]
G            Em      C          
Sun-bleached dresses wavin' from
    G
 a clothesline
G             Em               C
Come Saturday evening, they'll 
               D
have a place to be
Em             Bm         C     
I'll pick some flowers to take 
      D
to her Mama
       G    F# Em D    C       G
I fell down in to the American Dream


[Chorus]
D                     C        G
Summer time sunshine, shine on me
          C       G         D
Won't you show me where I'm goin'?
D                         C
Leaving San Francisco for New 
     G
Orleans
      C          G       D
I can hear that rooster crowin'


[Verse 4]
G         Em     C             G
Spit and polish the ancient story
G         Em     C       D
Love and glory, gold and greed
Em      Bm       C          D
Nothing changes, even if it wants to
       G   F# Em D    C       G
We go down in to the American Dream
