American Tune Chords by Paul Simon

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