[Fm] [C]
[G] [C]
[G] Many's the time [F] I've been [G] [E] mistaken And [Am] many times [Am] confused
[C] Yes, and I've often [G] felt [D] forsaken [Am] And [E] certainly
[Am] misused
[C] [F] Oh, but I'm [G] alright, [F] I'm [C] alright I'm [F] just weary to [D]
my [Am] bones
[A]
[D] [G] Still you don't expect to [C] be bright [D] and bon vivant [F] So far [G] away [E] from home, [F] so [C] far
[Gm] away from [C] home
[F] I [C]
don't know a soul who's not [D] been bad [E] I don't have [Am] a friend who [E] [Am] feels at ease
I [C] don't know a [D] dream that's not [C] been [G] shattered [C]
[Am] Or driven to its knees
[C] Oh, but [F] it's [G] alright, it's [F] [C] alright For [F] we've lived so [C] well, so [Am] long
[A] [D] Still [G] when I think [C] of the road [D] we're traveling [G] [C] on [F] I wonder [G] what's gone [E] wrong
I [F]
can't [C] help it, I wonder [D] what's gone [C] wrong [G] And I dreamed I was dying
I [C]
[D] dreamed that my soul [C] rose
[E] [Am] unexpectedly [F#] And looking [G] back down at [Em] [F] me
[C] I smiled
[Gm] reassuringly And [G] I dreamed [C] I was flying
And high up [G] above [E] Mars could clearly [Am] see [F#] The Statue [G] of Liberty [F] sailing [C] away [A#] to sea
[C] And I dreamed I was flying
We come on the ship they call the [D] [E] Mayflower We [Am] come on the ship [E] that sails [Am] the moon
We [Em]
come [F] in the [C] nation's most [G]
uncertain [C] hour [Am] And sing [E] an American tune
[Am] [C] Oh, [F] but it's [G] alright, [F] it's alright, [C] it's alright We [F] can't be [E] forever [A] blessed
[D] Still [G] tomorrow's gonna be another [D] working [G] day And [C] I'm trying to [G] get some [C] [E] rest
[F]
That's [C] all, I'm just trying to [D] [G] get some rest
