Many's the [G] time I've been [E] mistaken [Am] And many [Ab]
times [Am] confused

[F] Oh, but [G] I'm [F] all [C]
[F] I'm just [C] weary [G]
to [Am] ramble
[A]
[D] [G] Still, you don't [C] expect to be bright [D] and bold [G] So far away, [E]
[Am] [C] so [Em] far away [C] from

ease

[Eb] [G] And looking back down at me A smile reassuring [Em] me
And I [C] dreamed I was flying above
[Am] [G]
Eyes [Am] could clearly [Ebm] see
[G] A statue of liberty [F] [C] Standing [G] awake to see
I [C] dreamed I was flying
Oh, come on the [G] ship they call the Mayflower [E] Come [Am] on the ship [Ab] that sailed the [Am] moon
[C] Come [F] in the [G] 1810 [E] hour [Am] And sing [E] an American [Am] tune
[G] Oh, [F] but it's all right [G] It's all right, it's all right
You can't be for real, [Am] no way [A]
Still, [D] [G]
tomorrow's gonna be another

some rest
