American Tune chords
Paul Simon

C     F  C  G7  C G E7   Am  E    Am
Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused
C      F C G7  C G E7   Am  E7   Am
Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused
      F G     F C        F   C G 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 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 who feels at ease
C       F   C   G7 C  G   E7   Am   E7   Am
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees
       F G     F C      F    C  G 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   D7
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
         G7   F C        G
And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly
          C
And I dreamed I was flying
       G    G7     Am    D7
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    E7    Am   E7    Am
We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune
       F G      F C     F   C G E7  Am
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   C
And I'm trying to get some rest, that's all I'm trying to get some rest
