[Verse 1]
 
           F/C  C*   G*     C* G   E
Many's the time I've been mistaken
Am   E        Am    C/B C
Many times confused
         F/C C*  G*   C* G     E
And I've of- ten felt forsaken
Am         E     Am   C/B C
And certainly misused
        F G     F      C
But I'm alright, I'm alright
     F/C C* G* E/G# Am    C/B C C7
Just weary  to my   bones
F         G
Still you don't expect to be
C      G   D/F#  G
Bright and bon-vivant
   F/C C* G*       E/G# Am
So far a- way from home
D7 C    C/G G    C    Csus4 C
So far away from home
 
[Verse 2]
 
             F/C  C*    G*  C*   G        E
Don't know a soul who's not been battered
             Am         E        Am   C/B C
Don't have a friend who feels at ease
               F/C   C*     G*  C*   G    E
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Am        E      Am    C/B C
Or driven to its knees
         F G     F      C
But I'm  alright, I'm alright
      F/C  C* G*   E/G# Am C/B C C7
We've been so well so   long
F     G
Still when I think of the
C    G     D/F#      G
Road we're travelin' on
  F/C C*  G*          E/G#  Am
I won-der what's gone wrong
D7              C      C/G    G    C     Csus4 C
Can't help it I wonder what's gone wrong
 
[Bridge]
 
              C      Csus4 C Csus2 C
Dreamed I was dying
                G      E/G#   Am
Dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
D/F#             G
And looking back down at me
F          C     G
Smiled reassuringly
Gsus4         C      Csus4 C Csus2 C
Dreamed I was flying
         G
High up above
   E/G#       Am
My eyes could clearly see
D/F#          G
The statue of liberty
F        C      G   Gsus4
Sailing away to sea
G               C          Csus4 C Csus2 C
And I dreamed I was flying
 
[Verse 3]
 
             F/C  C*   G*   C*  G         E
We come on a ship they call the Mayflower
             Am        E          Am   C/B C
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
               F/C C*     G*   C* G            E
We come in our na- tion's most un-certain hour
Am          E        Am   C/B C
And sing an American tune, oh
    F G      F G      C
I'm alright, alright, alright
F/C   C*    G* E/G# Am      C/B C C7
Can't be fore- ver  blessed
F       G
Still tomorrow's gonna be
 C  G   D/F#    G
Another workin' day
        F/C    C* G*       E/G# Am
And I'm trying to get some rest
Adim/D#        C      C/G
That's all I'm trying
   G        C    Csus4 C
To get some rest
