American Tune - Paul Simon

C F C G7 C G E7 Am Am

Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused

C F C G7 C G C Bo7 Am E7 Am

Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused

C9 F G F C F C G G#o7 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 C G13 C

So far away from home, so far away from home

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 that's feels at ease

C F C G7 C G C Bo7 Am E7 Am

I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees

C9 F G F C F C G G#o7 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 C G E7 Am Dm7 C G13 C

I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong

C

And I dreamed I was dying...

G G7 Am D#o7

I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

G7 F C G

And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly

G7 C

And I dreamed I was flying....

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 C Bo7 Am E7 Am

We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune

C9 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 G7 C

And I'm trying to get some rest, that's all I'm trying to get some rest

C

And I dreamed I was flying....

G G7 Am D#o7

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....
