[Verse 1]
D G You followed me to Texas A7 D You followed me to Utah D G We didn't find it there, A7 so we moved on
[Verse 2]
A7 D G Then you went with me to Alabam' A7 D Things looked good in Birmingham D G We didn't find it there, A7 So we moved on
[Chorus]
A7 D G I know you're tired of following A7 D My elusive dreams and schemes G D For they're only fleeting things, A7 D My elusive dreams
D
[Verse 3]
D G You had my child in Memphis A7 D Then I heard of work in Nashville D G But we didn't find it there, A7 So we moved on
[Verse 4]
A7 D G To a small farm in Nebraska A7 D To a gold mine in Alaska D G We didn't find it there, A7 So we moved on
A#7
[Bridge]
D# G# Now we've left Alaska A#7 D# Because, well, there was no gold mine D# G# A#7 And this time, only two of us moved on
A#7
D# G# Now all we have, is each other A#7 D# And, a little memory to cling to D# G# A#7 And still you won't let me go on alone
[Chorus]
A#7 D# G# I know you're tired of following A#7 D# My elusive dreams and schemes G# D# For they're only fleeting things, A#7 D# My elusive dreams
