     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 Bo7 Am    E7        Am
     Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused
     C9         F   G         F   C             F  C  G  G#o7  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
     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 Bo7  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#o7  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
tabchorus
C And I dreamed I was dying... G G7 Am D#o7 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....

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 Bo7 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
tabchorus
C And I dreamed I was flying.... G G7 Am D#o7 And high up above my eyes could clearly see G7 C G The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea G7 C And I dreamed I was flying....
