C C                     F F       C C    G7 G7     G G      E7 E7          Am Am    E E        Am Am
Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused
F F C C G7 G7 C C G G E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7 Am Am
Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused
F F G G F F C C F F C C G G E7 E7 Am Am A7 A7
Aw, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones
D7 D7 G7 G7 C C G7 G7 D D G G
Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
F F C C G G E7 E7 Am Am Dm7 Dm7 G G C C
So far away from home, so far away from home

F F C C G7 G7 C C G G E7 E7
And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
Am Am E7 E7 Am Am
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
F F C C G7 G7 C C G G E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7 Am Am
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees
F F G G F F C C F F C C G G Am Am A7 A7
Aw, but it's alright, it's alright for we lived so well so long
D7 D7 G7 G7 C C G7 G7 D D G G
Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on
F F G G E7 E7 Am Am Dm7 Dm7 G G C C
I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong

C C
And I dreamed I was dying
G G G7 G7 Am Am D7 D7
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
G7 G7 F F C C G G
And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly
C C
And I dreamed I was flying
G G G7 G7 Am Am D7 D7
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
G7 G7 C C G G
The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea
G7 G7 C C
And I dreamed I was flying

F F C C G G C C G G E7 E7
For we come on the ship they call the Mayflower
Am Am E7 E7 Am Am
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
F F C C G G G G E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7 Am Am
We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune
F F G G F F C C F F C C E7 E7 Am Am
Aw, but it's alright, it's alright you can't be forever blessed
D7 D7 G G C C G7 G7 D D G G
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day
F F C C G G E7 E7 Am Am
And I'm trying to get some rest,
Dm7 Dm7 C C G G C C
that's all I'm trying to get some rest
