[Verse 1]
G                        C        
Sometimes I sit in my backyard, I 
G                           C
kick back and drink iced tea
G                          C     
I stare all the way to the ocean 
      G                      C
and dream of how it would be
G                        C       
If I were a ship captain 
         G                         
somewhere or an old fashioned 
 C
sailor at sea
G                            C   
Or a stowed away pirate just down
                    G            
 below hiding and praying the law 
              C
dont find me
D                       Em 
Maybe I'd sail from Nantucket 
   D                            Em
chasing the great white whale
C                      G     
Oh without a sound, I'd run him 
                        D          
aground then I'd bring old Ahab the
       Em
 tail
        D                    Em
Yeah I'd bring old Ahab his tail


[Chorus]
C                   D
But I'm not a sailor
                     G    F#m  
I'm just a man stuck here in the 
         Em
promise land
C        D                G
Living hard and living free
C                   D            
I'm a dreamer that's what I got, 
G       F#m            Em
Oh but here goes one last shot
C         D                  
I hope someday they're dreaming 
       G
about me

[Verse 2]
G                      C          
Sometimes I dream Im a cowboy 
G     C
around 1949
G                       C        
I'd cross the border on horseback
        G                   C
 with a real close buddy of mine
G                     C          
Id know we'd run from trouble but
    G                    C
 Im sure its what we'd find
G                                 
When you're out of the frying pan 
C                  G             
into the fire, who cares what you
         C
 leave behind
D                  Em            
I know i'd fall in love down 
          D                    Em
there and I'd probably windup in 
jail
C                            G   
When you fall in love with a rich
                   D            
 man's daughter, 'who's gonna go 
        Em
your bail
      D                  Em
Man I hate them Mexican jails


[Chorus]
C                   D
But I'm not a outlaw
                     G    F#m  
I'm just a man stuck here in the 
         Em
promise land
C        D                G
Living hard and living free
C                   D            
I'm a dreamer that's what I got, 
G       F#m            Em
Oh but here goes one last shot
C         D                  
I hope someday they're dreaming 
       G
about me

[Verse 3]
G                         C       
I'd love to go rafting the waters.
 G                        C
 ride on the mighty Mississip
G                     C          
I'd float around from town to 
          G                  
town causing trouble then I'd 
           C
give'em the slip
D                            Em  
And that river could take me back
        D                  Em
 to the days of old Huck Finn
C                      G     
I'd sleep all day and smoke all 
             D                   Em
night and play tricks on old Jim
        D                   Em
Yeah I'd think I'd like old Jim


[Chorus]
C                   D
But I'm not a runaway
                     G    F#m  
I'm just a man stuck here in the 
         Em
promise land
C        D                G
Living hard and living free
C                   D            
I'm a dreamer that's what I got, 
G       F#m            Em
Oh but here goes one last shot
C         D                  
I hope someday they're dreaming 
       G
about me
C              D                 
Yeah I hope one day you read about 
G
me
