[G]
[C] Many is the [G] time [Am] I've [G] been [D] [B] mistaken [Em] And [B] many times [Em] confused
[C] Yes, and I've [G] often [Am] [G] felt [D] [B] forsaken [Em] And [Eb] certainly [G] misused
[C] Oh, but I'm [D] alright, [C] I'm [G] alright [C]
[G] I'm just [Am] weary to [Em] my bones
[E] Still, [Am]
[D] you don't [G] expect to be [Bm] proud [A] of [D] only one [G] [C] So far [D] away [B] from home
[Em]
So [D] far [G] away from home
[C] I don't know a soul [D] who's [G] not been [D] I [B] [Em] don't have a [B] friend who [Em] feels at ease
I [C] don't know a [D] dream that's not been [B] shared [Em] But [B] driven to [Em] its [G] knees
[C] Oh, but it's [D] alright, [C] it's [G] alright [C] For we live [D] so [G] well, so [Em] long
[E] [Am] [D] Still, when I think [G] of the road [A] we're traveling [G] on [C] I wonder [G] what's gone [B] wrong
[D] I can't help it, I wonder what's [G] gone wrong And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that [D] my soul arose [Em]
unexpectedly [Gm] Looking back [D] down at [C] me, a [G] smile [D] reaching me
And I [G] dreamed I was flying
High [D] above my [G] eyes, [Em] completely see [E] A [D] statue of liberty, [C]
[G] sailing [D] away to sea
And [G] I dreamed I was flying
Oh, they come [C] on the ship, they [D] go, then they fly under
[B] We come [E] on the ship [B] that's in the [Em] moon We come [C] in the ages, [D] and most uncertain [Bm] hour
[G] And sing an [Em] American tune [G] Oh, [C] it's [D] alright, [Cm] it's [G] alright, it's alright
[C] You can't be [D]
forever [Em] blessed [E] [Am] [D] Still, tomorrow's gonna [G] be another [A] working [G] day
[C] I'm trying to [D] get some [B] rest [Em] That's [D] all, I'm trying to get [G] some rest
