[N]
[C]
Many's the [G] time I've been [E] mistaken [Am] And many [Ab]
times [Am] confused
[C] [F] Yes, and [G] have often felt [C] forsaken [E] And [Am] [E] certainly [Am] [G] misused
[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
And I don't know a [G] soul who's not been [E] [Ab] battered I don't [Am] have a friend who [Ab] [G] feels at [Am]
ease
[F] I don't know a dream [G] that's not been shattered Or [Am]
driven [E] to [Am] its
[G] knees
[F] Oh, but it's all [G] [F] It's [C] all right [F] For we've [G] lived so well, [Am] so long
[A]
[D] [G] Still, I think of the road we're traveling [F]
[G] [E]
[Ab] [Am] [G] I can't help [C] it, I wonder [Em] what's [C] gone wrong
And I dreamed I was dying I [A] dreamed that my [G] soul rose [Am] unexpectedly
[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
[D] [G] [F] And I'm trying [G] to get [E] some rest [Am] That's [C] all I'm [Em] trying to get [C]
some rest
[Dm] [C]
[G]

Thanks for watching!
