American Tune Chords by Paul Simon

[Start]

[Verse]
C            F         G    C        G E
■ Many's the time I've been mistaken ■ ■
E7  Am   E7    Am      
And many times confused
C                    G    C        G C
■ Yes and I've often felt forsaken ■ ■
Bm  Am        E7 Am      C
And certainly ■  misused ■


[Chorus]
C7     F     G           F       C
Oh but ■ I'm alright I'm alright ■
         F     G     Am    A7
I'm just weary to my bones ■ 


[Verse]
Dsus4       G                      C          D   G     
■     Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
   F   C    G    E7   Am C      G         C   
So far away from home ■  so far away from home
               F    C     G        E7      
I don't know a soul who's not been battered
               Am         E7       Am  
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
               F     C      G        C        
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
   Am     E7     Am    C
Or driven to its knees ■
       F    G            F       C
Oh but it's alright it's alright ■
       F     C  G       Am   A7
For we lived so well so long ■ 
D G                     C   G          D         C 
■ Still when I think of the road we're traveling on
  F      G           E7   
I wonder what's gone wrong
Am Dm7           C G                  C    
I  can't help it I wonder what's gone wrong


[Chorus]
      C                  
And I dreamed I was dying
                  G         Am          
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
            G            F 
And looking back down at me
       C            G
Smiled reassuringly ■
G7                     C     
■  And I dreamed I was flying
                  G             Am         
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
              F      
The Statue of Liberty
C               G  
Sailing away to sea
              C           
And I dreamed I was flying


[Verse]
                             G                 
And we come on the ship they call The Mayflower
E                Am        Esus4      Am  
■ We come on the ship that sailed the moon
        C                 G              
We come in the age's most uncertain hours


[Chorus]
    Am      E        Am  
And sing an American tune
C7          F       G F            C           
Oh and it's alright ■ it's alright it's alright
    F        C       G Am7     A7
You can't be forever ■ blessed ■ 
D7 G                         C       G D       G  
■  Still tomorrow's gonna be another ■ working day
C       F         G        E   
And I'm trying to get some rest
Am     D   C          G        C        
That's all I'm trying ■ to get some rest
