Chords for Rhiannon Giddens & Francesco Turrisi feat Martin Hayes - American Tune | Live at Dignity (2022)

_ This is the song American Tunes by Paul Simon and I had the great good fortune earlier this year to _ _
perform this with him and not only that he changed two lines of the song for me to sing
_ but what I think it does is it opens it up to everyone because in the United States most people's
ancestors didn't come on the Mayflower _ and so that little change actually is a big change and it makes
it even more appropriate for the year of 2022. _
_ _ Thank you.
American Tunes.

[Bb] Many's the [F] time _ [C] I've [F] been _ _ [C] mistaken _ _ _
[A] and _ _ _ _ _ many times _ _ _ [Dm] confused _ _ _ _ yes [F] _
[Bb] and I've _ [F] often [C] felt _ _ _ _ forsaken
_ _ [F]
again [E] _ _ [Dm] and _ _ certainly [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ [F] misused _ _ oh [Bb] but _ I'm all [C] _

[F] right _ _ I'm [Bb] just [F] weary _ [C] to _ [A] _
[Dm] my bone
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Still [C] you don't expect to [F] be _ [C] bright _ [G] and bon _

_ _ _ _ _ _ I don't [Bb] know a [C] soul who's _ not been _ _ _ _ [A] battered _ I don't [Dm] have a friend who [A] _ _ _ _ feels [Dm] at ease
_ _ _ _ [F]
I don't [Bb] know a _ [F] dream that's [C]
not _ been _ _ _ _ [F] shattered _ _ [Em] _ [Dm] or _ driven _ [A] _ to _ its [D] knees
_ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ _
_ Oh [Bb] but it's _ _ all [C] _ right _ _ [Bb] it's all _ _ [F] right _ for [Bb] we've [F] lived so _ [C] well [Db] so _ [Dm] _ long _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ still [C] when I think [F] of the
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] we're _ _ traveling [C] _ _ on [Bb] I _ [F] wonder _ _ [C] what's [A] _ gone [Dm] _ wrong _ _
[Bb] _ I can't help it [F] I _ [C] wonder _ _ _ _ what's gone [F] _ wrong _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ and I dreamed I was _ dying _ _ _ _ _ I _ _ _ _ dreamed that my _ [C] soul _ _ rose _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ unexpectedly _
_ _ _ _ and looking [C] back down at [Bb] me _ _ _ smiled [F] _ _ _ [C] _ reassuringly _ _ _ _ and I dreamed [F] I was _ _ _ flying _
_ _ _ _ _ and high up _ above my _ _ eyes _ _ _ [Dm] could clearly _ [D] see _ a statue [C] of liberty _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Am] _ [Gm] sailing _ [F] away _
[C] to sea
here _ _ _ and _ I dreamed I _ _ was _ _ _ _ _ flying _ _ _ we _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] didn't come [C] here _ _ on a [C] _ Mayflower _ _
[A] we _ came [Dm] in a ship [A] in a blood _ _ _
moon _ _ _ _ _ [F] we come [Bb] in the _ [C] _ age's most [F] _ _ _ [C] _ uncertain _
[F] _ _ [E] hour and [Dm] we _ sing an [A] _ American _ _

oh _ _ _ [F] _
no and [Bb] it's _ _ _ [C] all right _ _ _ it's all [Gm] right [F] all right _ we [Bb] can't [Dm] be _ _ [C] _
