American Tune

Paul Simon

 CFCG7CGE7AmAm
     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
 D7G7CG7DG
     Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
 CFCGE7AmDm7CG13C
     So faaway from home, so far away from home
 CFCG7CGE7
     And I don't know a soul who's not been battered 
 AmE7Am
     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
 D7G7CG7DG
     Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on  
 CFCCGE7AmDm7CG13C
     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
 G7FCG
                 And looking back down on msmiled reassuringly
 G7C
                 And I dreamed I was flying....
 CFCGCG
     For we come on the ship they call Mayflower 
 E7AmE7Am
     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
 C9FGFCFCGE7Am
     Aw, but it's alright, it's alright you can't be forever blessed
 D7GCG7DG
     Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day
 CFCGE7AmDm7CG13G7C
     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
 G7CG
                 The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea
 G7C
                 And I dreamed I was flying....
