Neil Young – American Dream (Guitar)

A
Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and strong.

D                                                                          A
Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and strong.

E
Love brought joy and life brought pain, the emptiness of money and a name

Bm                                   D               A
After that things got a little rough in the American dream

A
American dream, American dream American dream American dream

A
I used to see you on every T.V.,  your smiling face looked back at me.

E
Then they caught you with the girl next door, People's money piled on the floor,

Bm                                D
Accusations that you try to deny, Revelations and rumors begin to fly.

{Whistling refrain} American dream, American dream

D                                                    A
{Whistling refrain} American dream, American dream         

E
You wake up in the middle of the night, your sheets are wet and your face is white.

E                                      E                                    Bm       D    A
You tried to make a good thing last.   How could something so good, go bad, so fast?

F#
Reporters crowd around your house going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,

C#m                                  E                        B
Speculating what they may find out, it don't matter now, you're all washed up.
