CFCDmCGE
Many's the time I've been mistaken,
AmE7Am
And many times confuse.
CFCDmCGE
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken,
AmE7Am
And certainly misused.
FGFC
Oh, but I'm alright, I'm alright,
FGEE7
I'm just weary to my bones.
FGCGDG
Still, you don't expect to be bright and bonvivant,
FCGEDmCGC
So far away from home, So far away from home
CFCDmCGE
I don't know a soul whose not been battered,
AmE7Am
I don't have a friend who feels at ease,
CFCDmCGE
I don't know a dream whose not been shattered,
AmE7Am
Or driven to its knees.
FGFC
Oh, but It's alright, It's alright,
FGEE7
For we lived so well so long.
FGCGDG
Still when I think of the road we're traveling on,
GFCGE
I wonder what's gone wrong.
DmCGC
I can't help it; I wonder what has gone wrong
C
And I dream I was dying,
GAm
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly,
GFCG
And looking back down at me smiled reassuringly.
C
And I dreamed I was flying,
GAm
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
G
The Statue of Liberty,
FCG
Sailing away to sea,
C
And I dreamed I was flying.
CFCDmCGE
We come on the ship they call the Mayflower,
AmE7Am
We come on the ship that sailed the moon.
CFCDmCGE
We come in the age's most uncertain hours,
AmE7Am
And sing the American Tune.
FGFC
Oh, and it's alright, it's alright,
FGEE7
You can be forever blessed.
FGCGDG
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day,
FCGE
And I'm trying to get some rest,
DmCGC
That's all I'm trying, to get some rest.
