[Verse 1]
C                F       C   G7           C G   E7           Am             Am
Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused
C                   F C   G7  C    G    C B7 Am     E7          Am
Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused
C9             F    G              F  C               F     C  G G#7 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 C   G13            C
So far away from home,   so   far away from home

[Verse 2]
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 that's feels at ease
C                      F        C       G7      C     G       C B7 Am     E7         Am
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees
C9           F     G       F      C                  F     C    G   G#7 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       C  G             E7  Am    Dm7              C   G13             C
I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong

[Bridge]
C
And I dreamed I was dying...
                                G      G7             Am    Am/F#
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
                            G7            F   C                         G
And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly
G7                              C
And I dreamed I was flying....
                       G            G7              Am         D#7
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
                      G7            C                    G
The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea
  C
And I dreamed I was flying.

[Verse 3]
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             C    B7   Am        E7                Am
We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune
C9                    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       G13       G7     C
And I'm trying to get some rest, that's all I'm trying to get some rest.
