Nitty Gritty Dirt Band – An American Dream (Ukulele)

  C F 
I beg your pardon, mama, what did you say? 

  G C 
My mind was drifting off on Martinique Bay. 

  C F 
It's not that I'm not interested, you see; 

  G C 
Augusta, Georgia is just no place to be. 

  C F 
   I think Jamaican in the  moonlight. 

  G C 
   Sandy beaches, drinking  rum every night. 

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

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

  C F 
    Keep on talking, mama,  I can't hear. 

  G C 
    Your voice, it tickles down in side of my ear. 

  C F 
    I feel a tropical vac ation this year, 

  G C 
    Might be the answer to this  hillbilly fear. 

  C F 
    I think Jamaican in the  moonlight. 

  G C 
    Sandy beaches, drinking  rum every night. 

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

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

  C F 
    Voila!  An A merican Dream. 

  G C 
    Well, we can travel girl, with out any means. 

  C F 
    When it's as easy as  closing your eyes 

  G C 
    And dream Jamaica is a  big neon sign. 

  C F 
    Just keep talking, mama,  I like that sound. 

  G C 
    It goes so easy with that  rain falling down. 

  C F 
    I think a tropical vac ation this year, 

  G C 
    Might be the answer to this  hillbilly fear. 

  C F 
    Voila!  An A merican Dream. 

  G C 
    Yeah, we can travel girl, with out any means. 

  C F 
    When it's as easy as  closing your eyes 

  G C 
    And dream Jamaica is a  big neon sign.
