American Tune Chords by Paul Simon

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