   C majorC     FF   C majorC  G7G7   C majorC  G+G E7E7   A minorAm  E7E7   A minorAm
   Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused
   C majorC      FF C majorC G7G7  C majorC  G+G  C majorC B7B7 A minorAm  E7E7    A minorAm
   Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused
   C9C9     FF  G+G     FF  C majorC       FF C majorC G+G FF A minorAm  A7A7
   Aw, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones
   D7D7     G7G7           C majorC G7G7 D MajorD    G+G
   Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
   C majorC  FF C majorC G+G   E7E7 A minorAm Dm7Dm7 C majorC  G13G13   C majorC
   So far away from home, so far away from home
   C majorC         FF  C majorC   G7G7  C majorC   G+G  E7E7
   And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
          A minorAm      E7E7      A minorAm
   I don't have a friend that's feels at ease
   C majorC       FF   C majorC    G7G7 C majorC   G+G   C majorC B7B7 A minorAm  E7E7     A minorAm
   I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees
   C9C9     FF  G+G     FF  C majorC      FF   C majorC G+G FF A minorAm  A7A7
   Aw, but it's alright, it's alright for we lived so well so long
   D7D7  G7G7         C majorC  G7G7    D MajorD     G+G
   Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on
   C majorC  FF C majorC   G+G     E7E7 A minorAm   Dm7Dm7     C majorC G13G13     C majorC
   I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong
         C majorC
         And I dreamed I was dying...
                  G+G   G7G7    A minorAm  Dm7Dm7
		 I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
                 G7G7    FF C majorC        G+G
		 And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly
         G7G7         C majorC
		 And I dreamed I was flying....
               G+G    G7G7      A minorAm    Dm7Dm7
		 And high up above my eyes could clearly see
                G7G7    C majorC        G+G
		 The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea
        G7G7          C majorC
		 And I dreamed I was flying....
   C majorC         FF   C majorC  G+G  C majorC     G+G
   For we come on the ship they call Mayflower
   E7E7       A minorAm    E7E7      A minorAm
   We come on the ship that sailed the moon
    C majorC      FF C majorC G+G  C majorC G+G     C majorC B7B7 A minorAm    E7E7     A minorAm
   We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune
   C9C9       FF  G+G     FF  C majorC     FF C majorC G+G E7E7 A minorAm    A7A7
   Aw, but it's alright, it's alright you can't be forever blessed
   D7D7    G+G         C majorC G7G7 D MajorD    G+G
   Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day
   C majorC     FF  C majorC G+G      E7E7 A minorAm   Dm7Dm7 C majorC   G13G13   G7G7  C majorC
   And I'm trying to get some rest, that's all I'm trying to get some rest
