[Verse 1]
[C]Many is the [F]time [C]I've been [G]mis[C]taken
[G]An [E]d m[Abdim]any times c[Am]onfus[E]ed
[Am]Yes,[F] and I've often felt[C] forsa[G]ke[C]n[G]
[C]An [E]d c[Am]ertainly mis[E]used[Am]
[C]Oh, but I'm [F]all right, [G]I'm [F]all right
[C]I'm [F]just weary [C]to [G]my [E]bones[A]
[D]Still you don[G]'t expect to be
[C]bright an[G]d bon v[D]ivant
[G]so [C]far [F]away fro[G]m home,
[E]so [Abdim]far away [G]fro[D]m ho[C]me.[G][C]
I don't know a [F]soul
who's not [G]been battered.
[E]I d[Abdim]on't have a frie[Am]nd who feel[E]s at ease.
[Am]I don't know a dream[F]
that's not [G]been shattered
[C]or [G]driven to [Am]its k[E]nees
[Am]Oh, [C]but it's[F] alright, it's[G] alrig[F]ht,
[C]for we've [F]lived so [C]well [G]so [E]long[Am][A]
[D]Still, [G]when I think of [C]the road
[G]we're trav[D]eling on
[G]I won[C]der[F] what's gon[G]e wrong
[E]I c[Abdim]an't help[Dm] it, I wonder[G]
[C]what's [G]gone wro[C]ng
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul [G]rose unexpectedly
[Am]Look[Ebdim]ing back d[F#dim]own at me,[G]
[F]smiled reassuringly
[G]I dreamed I was fly[C]ing[F][C]
High up [G]above my eyes
could clearly [Am]see
[Ebdim]The Statue of Li[D]berty sa[G]il
[F]ing away [C]to [G]sea
Dreamed I [C]was flying
But we come on a [F]ship
they [C]call [G]the Mayflower
[E]We come on a [Am]ship that [E]sailed the moon
[Am]We come [G]in the age's[F]
[C]most [G]un [C]cer[G]tain hours
[C]An [E]d s[Am]ing an American [E]tune
[Am]It's [C]alr[F]ight, it'[G]s al rig[F]ht, it's alright
