                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....
