American Tune
Paul Simon

C          F    C      G7   C G  E7    Am     E7      Am
Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused
C            F C     G7   C G  E7    Am      E7    Am  C9
Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused
            F   G        F   C             F  C   G  G7  Am   A7
Aw, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones
D7           G7                C      G    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 a-way 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 feels at ease
  C            F     C       G7 C      G     E7   Am      E7       Am  C9
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to its knees
             F   G         F   C           F     C    G   G7  Am  A7
Aw, but it's alright, it's alright, for we lived so well so long
D7      G7                  C    G        D       G
  Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on 
C   F  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      D7
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
                 G          F            C      G
And looking back down on me   smiled reassuringly
      G7            C
And I dreamed I was dying

       C           F    C      G7   C   G   E7
For we come on the ship they call Mayflower
               Am          E7          Am
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
   C           F     C      G7 C      G  E7    Am       E7        Am  C9
We come in the age's most uncertain hours  and sing an American Tune
             F   G         F   C              F  C  G  G7  Am   A7
Aw, but it's alright, it's alright, you can't be forever blessed
D7        G7                 C G      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         D7
And high up above my eyes I could clearly see
              G       F          C        G
The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea
      G7            C
And I dreamed I was flying
