American Dream Live chords by Jamestown Revival

Verse 1:


G
Woke up this mornin'

    C             G
And thought I was fine

G
Walked in the kitchen

  D
A quarter to nine

G

Poured me some coffee

C            G
Read me some news

G
When I looked up

    D          G
All hell broke loose

G
There's a hole in the roof

G
It's coming right through

                     C
The water's all gone cold

                G
Heater's makin' noise again

        D                    G
And the bread's all growin' mold

Chorus:


C                        G
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree

    D
I'm lookin' up at you

       G
You're lookin' down on me

C                                  G             C
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem

    D          C        G
I'm livin' the American Dream

    D          C        G
I'm livin' the American Dream


Verse 2:


G                C        G
I hate to let my old lady down

                     D
This time I took her out on the town

G                    C            G
If I had my way, I'd give her the world

                      D         G
Lord only knows how I love that girl

G
But the yard needs mowin'

G
Bills need payin'

                        C
Phone's ringing off the line

                    G
I got me a list of "Honey do's"

  D                   G
I just can't find the time


Chorus:


C                        G
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree

    D
I'm lookin' up at you

       G
You're lookin' down on me

C                                  G             C
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem

    D          C        G
I'm livin' the American Dream

    D          C        G
I'm livin' the American Dream

You're lookin' down on me

C                                  G             C
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
