American Tune

C         F    C    Dm  C  G  E
Many's the time I've been mistaken,
    Am    E7    Am
And many times confuse.
C             F C   Dm   C  G  E
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken,
    Am    E7      Am
And certainly misused.
             F   G         F   C
Oh, but I'm alright, I'm alright,
          F     G    E      E7
I'm just weary to my bones.
F          G                   C
Still, you don't expect to be 
      G    D     G
bright and bonvivant,
    F  C   G       E   Dm  C   
So far away from home, So far 
G         C
away from home
C               F      C   Dm  
I don't know a soul whose not 
C  G  E
been battered,
               Am         E7      
I don't have a friend who feels at
  Am
 ease,
C               F      C      Dm
I don't  know a dream whose not 
  C  G  E
been shattered,
    Am    E7       Am
Or driven to its knees.

             F   G          F    C
Oh, but It's alright, It's alright,
         F      G       E      E7
For we lived so well so long.
F       G                   C   
Still when I think of the road 
G       D       G
we're traveling on,
G  F   C  G          E
I wonder what's gone wrong.
 Dm                C         G   
I can't help it; I wonder what 
         C
has gone wrong
  C
And I dream I was dying,
                   G       
I dreamed that my soul rose 
      Am
unexpectedly,
                  G          F    
And looking back down at me smiled
      C    G
 reassuringly.
                     C
And I dreamed I was flying,
               G               
And high up above my eyes could 
   Am
clearly see
               G
The Statue of Liberty,
    F    C      G
Sailing away to sea,
                     C
And I dreamed I was flying.

C               F   C    Dm     
We come on the ship they call 
   C    G    E
the Mayflower,
               Am         E7      
We come on the ship that sailed 
  Am
the moon.
C               F C  Dm    C  
We come in the age's most 
G     E
uncertain hours,
      Am    E7         Am
And sing the American Tune.
             F   G          F    C
Oh, and it's alright, it's alright,
        F     G     E      E7
You can be forever blessed.
F        G                C    G
Still tomorrow's gonna be 
   D       G
another working day,
          F    C   G        E
And I'm trying to get some rest,
     Dm     C         G           
That's all I'm trying, to get some 
C
rest.
