American Dreams Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Benny the boy was a lad from
[C]France
and he danced in a worn out shoe
[G]Had a hole in the seat of his [C]pants
and he loved a girl named Sue
Benny [Am]and Sue didn't k[D]now what to do
cause [G]their daddy didn't like young [C]Ben
So they [G]bought him a car and ran away
Made their way to wild Montana
[C]where they had a child named Fon[G]tana
And they [C]thought that
they would live forever
[Am]Young and happy, [D]gifts God given
[G]They were so in [C]love and driven
To [G]each other's arms alone
They were livin' in [C]American
[G]dreams
Eyes wide open like a child it [D]seems
Liv[G]in' and lovin' in [C]Amer
ican [G]dreams, ooh
[D]Life [G]rolls on,
and some dreams do come true
Ben and Sue were still just [C]children
when they had Fontana
[G]An d they had to learn to [C]handle
cold and hungry crying
[Am]Things got rough and
[D]times got harder,
[G]but that just made [C]their love stronger
[G]Ben and Sue and sweet Fontana
They were livin' an [C]American dream
[G]Eyes wide open like a child it [D]seems
Liv[G]in' and lovin' an [C]American dream
[G]Ooh, ooh, ooh, [D]ooh
Life [G]rolls on
And some dreams [D]do come [G]true
[C][G][C]
[Am][D][G][C][G]
Then worked hard and built a
[C]cabin in the forest
near the [G]clear blue water
of the [C]mountain river
And his daughter [Am]grew up
shining [D]like a rainbow
I [G]declare she [C]had a halo,
a [G]sweet fun time,
a child [D]of [G]love
They were livin' in [C]American dream[G]s
Eyes wide open like a child it [D]seems
Liv[G]in' and lovin' an [C]American dream
[G]Ooh, lif[D]e rol[G]ls on
and some dreams [D]do come [G]true
I said Benny the boy was a lad from [C]France
And he danced in a worn -out shoe
[G]Had a hole in the sleeve of his [C]pant
And he loved a girl named Sue
[Am]Young and happy, [D]gifts got given
[G]They were so in [C]love and driven
[G]To each other's arms so long
They were livin' in [C]Amer
ican [G]dreams
Eyes wide open like a child who'd [D]seen
Liv[G]in' and lovin' an [C]American dream
[G]Ooh, lif[D]e rol[G]ls on
And some dreams [D]do come [G]true
They were livin'
an American dream
Eyes wide open like a child who'd [D]seen
Liv[G]in' and lovin' an [C]American dream
[G]Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh[D],
[G]Life rolls on
But some dreams [D]do come [G]true
