          G   D  A
I know a woman

Her husband died and he left her

With two little children

And she got a degree in business

              Em        D
Yeah, now she owns one

         G
And she taught those kids

        D
You can do anything

With the heart of a true believer

 A      N.C.

And I've got a woman

And she waits for me with the light on

                       G    D  A

 G                          D
Back in the sixties, Merle Haggard's in prison

      Em                       D
He's thinking about writing a tune

      G                         D
And a guy named Armstrong was crazy enough

    G                          A
To think he could walk on the moon

       Bm                           A
And a preacher named King, well he had him a dream

     G                            D
He believed we could all live as one

       Em                    D
And a soldier somewhere is praying for peace

G                        A
While he's cleaning his gun

          G        D  A

 N.C.        G      D  A
And I had a father;

        G         D               A
He said son if something ain't real

                     G     D  A
Then you don't even bother

        D
And he wasn't a saint

          A                       G    D
But, I'd swear the man walked on water

             Em         D
Yeah and he taught me

   G                          D
I ain't just a long-legged hell-raising

         Em                        G
Son of a pipe-lining, honky-tonk singer

 A     N.C.                  G  D  A
Yeah, I'm an American dreamer

G          D          A                           G  D A
(Dream as big as you want to) I'm an American dreamer

G             D             A                               G   D A
(There ain't nothing that you can't do) I'm an American dreamer

G          D          A                           G D A
