[Verse 1]
G C G Am G D B Many's the time I've been mistak-en Em Bm Em And many times confused G C G Am G D B Yes, and I've often felt forsak-en Bm* Em B Em And certainly misused
[Chorus 1]
G C D C G Oh, but I'm alright, I'm al-right C G D Am Em E7 Just weary to my bones A G D A D Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant C D B So far away from home Em C G D G C G So far a-way from home
[Verse 2]
C G Am G D B I don't know a soul who's not been ba-at-ered Em B Em Don't have a friend who feels at ease G C G D G D G I don't know a dream that's not been sha-att-ered B* Em B Em Or driven to its knees
[Chorus 2]
G C D C G Oh, but it's alright, it's al-right C G D C Em E7 For we've lived so well so long A G D A D Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on C G D B I wonder what's gone wrong Bm* Em G D G G I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong
[Verse 3]
G And I dreamed I was dying D Em Em* I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly Am D C G D Looking back down at me, smiled reassuredly G G7 I dreamed I was flying D Em High up above, my eyes could clearly see D C G D The Statue of Liberty sailing away to sea G And I dreamed I was flying
[Verse 4]
C G D G D We come on the ship they call the Mayflower B* Em B Em Come on the ship that sails the moon C G D G D G We come in the age's most uncertain hours B* Em B Em And sing an American tune
[Chorus 3]
G C D C G Oh, but it's alright, it's al-right C G B Em E Can't be forever blessed A D G D A D Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day C G D B Bm* And I'm try-n to get some rest Em G D G That's all I'm trying, to get some rest
