Paul Simon – American Tune (Guitar)

C          F    C    G7   C  G E7       Am   E        Am
Many's the time I've been mistaken, and many times confused

C             F  C  G7   C  G E7       Am    E7     Am
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken, and certainly misused

            F G          F C               F     C  G  Am   A7
Aw, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones

D7        G7                 C      G7  D      G
Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant

C  F    C   G    E7       Am   Dm7 G    C
So far away from home, so far away from home

C                  F    C     G7  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      G7  C    G     E7     Am     E7      Am
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees

             F  G          F C             F        C    G  Am   A7
Aw, but it's alright, it's alright, for we lived so well so long

D7    G7                  C    G7    D         G
Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on

C F      C      G    E7    Am   Dm7            C      G           C
I wonder what's gone wrong,   I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong

C
And I dreamed I was dying

                  G    G7       Am      D7
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

                 G7      F   C                G
And looking back down on me, smiled reassuringly

                    C
And I dreamed I was flying

             G       G7         Am      C   D7
And high up above my eyes could clearly see

              G7        F        C      G
The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea

      G7            C
And I dreamed I was flying

C                  F    C    G    C        G
For we come on the ship they call Mayflower

E7             Am        E7         Am
We come on the ship that sailed the moon

   C           F C   G    C G       E7         Am      E7       Am
We come in the age's most uncertain hours, and sing an American Tune

             F G           F C          F     C  G  E7   Am
Aw, but it's alright, it's alright, you can't be forever blessed

D7      G                 C  G7   D       G
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day

C       F      C  G        E7   Am       Dm7      C         G        C
And I'm trying to get some rest,  that's all, I'm trying to get some rest
