This is the corrected version.

Capo 2nd fret

   C     F   C  G7   C  G E7   Am  E7   Am
   Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused
   C      F C G7  C  G  C B7 Am  E7    Am
   Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused
   C9     F  G     F  C       F C G F Am  A7
   Aw, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones
   D7     G7           C G7 D    G
   Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
   C  F C G   E7 Am Dm7 C  G13   C
   So far away from home, so far away from home
   C         F  C   G7  C   G  E7
   And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
          Am      E7      Am
   I don't have a friend that's feels at ease
   C       F   C    G7 C   G   C B7 Am  E7     Am
   I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees
   C9     F  G     F  C      F   C G F Am  A7
   Aw, but it's alright, it's alright for we lived so well so long
   D7  G7         C  G7    D     G
   Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on
   C  F C   G     E7 Am   Dm7     C G13     C
   I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong
         C
         And I dreamed I was dying...
                  G   G7    Am  Dm7
		 I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
                 G7    F C        G
		 And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly
         G7         C
		 And I dreamed I was flying....
               G    G7      Am    Dm7
		 And high up above my eyes could clearly see
                G7    C        G
		 The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea
        G7          C
		 And I dreamed I was flying....
   C         F   C  G  C     G
   For we come on the ship they call Mayflower
   E7       Am    E7      Am
   We come on the ship that sailed the moon
    C      F C G  C G     C B7 Am    E7     Am
   We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune
   C9       F  G     F  C     F C G E7 Am    A7
   Aw, but it's alright, it's alright you can't be forever blessed
   D7    G         C G7 D    G
   Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day
   C     F  C G      E7 Am   Dm7 C   G13   G7  C
   And I'm trying to get some rest, that's all I'm trying to get some rest
