American Tune
Paul Simon
Key : C
Capo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
C           F    C        G C    G  E7
 Many's the time I've been  mistaken
        Am     E7     Am
And many  times  confused
  C           F C       G C    G7 C
Yes, and I've often felt  forsaken
E7    Am   E      Am C9
And certainly misused
         F     G           F        C
Oh, but I'm all right, I'm all right
         F    C G  E7   Am A7
I'm just weary  to my bones
D7sus2           G7
      Still, you don't expect to be
C      G     D       G
Bright and bon vivant
C    F C   G       E7 Am Dm7 C     G        C
So far away from home,   so   far away from home

[Verse 2]
---------------------
                   F    C        G 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         G C       G7    C
I don't know a dream that's not  been shattered
E7    Am  E          Am C9
Or driven to its knees
             F         G      F       C
Oh, but it's all right, it's all right
      F       C    G E7   Am A7
We've lived so well  so long
D7sus2       G7                  C
      Still, when I think of the road
G        D        G
We're traveling on
C F  C       G        E7 Am
I wonder what went wrong
        Dm7        C     G          C
I can't help it, I wonder what went wrong
                    C
And I dreamed I was dying

[Verse 3]
---------------------
                         G     G7      Am    D7
And I dreamed that my soul rose  unexpectedly
                 G7        F
And looking back down at me
           C     G G7
Smiled reassuringly
                    C
And I dreamed I was flying
               G    G7           Am         D7
And high up above my  eyes could clearly see
              G7     F
The Statue of Liberty
         C      G  G7
Sailing away to sea
               C
And I dreamed I was flying

[Verse 4]
---------------------
                  F    C        G C         G  E7
Oh we come on the ship they call  the Mayflower
               Am              E7       Am
We come on the ship that sailed  the moon 
   C           F C       G C   G7        C
We come in the age's most  uncertain hour
E7    Am       E       Am
And sing an American tune
C9            F         G     F                        C
Oh , and it's all right, it's all right, it's all right
          F    C G E7     Am A7
You can't be fore_ver blessed
D7sus2         G7                    C G      D        G
      Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
C       F      C     G       E7 Am
And I'm trying to get some rest
       Dm7  C        G            C    F C
That's all I'm trying to get some rest.
