     Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused
              F  C  G7   C         G E7          Am    E7  Am
Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused
                   F G               F   C                F    C  G  E7  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
      F   C   G E7     Am           Dm7 G               C
So far away from home, so far    away from home

                               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 who feels at ease
                        F          C      G7  C         G     E7         Am     E7      Am
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees
                   F  G             F C                 F       C   G         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 
  F            G                 E7  Am                            Dm7      G                  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              D7
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
                              G7                 F                C G
And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly
                                   C
And I dreamed I was flying
                     G         G7                    Am        D7
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

                                   F     C      G    C        G            E7
For we come on the ship they call the Mayflower
                            Am          E7              Am
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
                           F C    G      G              E7              Am        E7             Am  
We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune
                    F G             F C                      F   C    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
             F         C  G              E7    Am      
And I'm trying to get some rest, 
                     Dm7        C              G        C
that's all I'm trying to get some rest
