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