                American Tune  -  Paul Simon

                                                   
     Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused
                               Bo7             
     Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused
                                                G#o7     
     Aw, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones
                                              
     Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
                              
     So far away from home, so far away from home
                                             
     And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
                                           
     I don't have a friend that's feels at ease
                                            Bo7               
     I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees
                                                  G#o7     
     Aw, but it's alright, it's alright for we lived so well so long
                                               
     Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on
                                                      
     I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong
                 
                 And I dreamed I was dying...
                                                     D#o7
		 I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
                                                          
		 And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly
                                   
		 And I dreamed I was flying....
                                            
     For we come on the ship they call Mayflower
                                      
     We come on the ship that sailed the moon
                                       Bo7                  
     We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune
                                                  
     Aw, but it's alright, it's alright you can't be forever blessed
                                        
     Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day
                                                       
     And I'm trying to get some rest, that's all I'm trying to get some rest
                 
                 And I dreamed I was flying....
                                                       D#o7
		 And high up above my eyes could clearly see
                                                      
		 The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea
                                   
		 And I dreamed I was flying....
