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