An American Dream chords by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

INTRO: A (4 beats of each chord)

  G
I beg your pardon, mama, what did you say?

My mind was drifting off on Martinique Bay.
  G
It's not that I'm not interested, you see;
  D
Augusta, Georgia is just no place to be.

  G
   I think Jamaican in the  moonlight.
  D
   Sandy beaches, drinking  rum every night.
  G
   We got no money, mama,  but we can go;
  D
   We'll split the difference, go to  Coconut Grove.

  G
    Keep on talking, mama,  I can't hear.
  D
    Your voice, it tickles down in side of my ear.
  G
    I feel a tropical vac ation this year,
  D
    Might be the answer to this  hillbilly fear.

  G
    I think Jamaican in the  moonlight.
  D
    Sandy beaches, drinking  rum every night.

    We got no money, mama,  but we can go;

    We'll split the difference, go to  Coconut Grove.

  G
    Voila!  An A merican Dream.

    Well, we can travel girl, with out any means.
  G
    When it's as easy as  closing your eyes
  D
    And dream Jamaica is a  big neon sign.
