            American Tune  -  Paul Simon

[Verse 1]
C          F     C   G7   C  G E7      Am    E7       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.
