[Intro] N.C. None [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
