[C] Many's [C] the [F] time [C] I've [Dm] been [C] mis-[G]tak-[E]en,
And [Am] many [E7] times con-[Am]fused.
[C] Yes, and I've [F] of-[C]ten [Dm] felt [C] for–[G]sa–[E]ken,
[Am] And cer-[E7]tainly mis-[Am]used.
Oh, but [F] I'm al–[G]right, I'm [F] al–[C]right,
I'm just [F] weary [G] to [E] my [E7] bones.
[F] Still, you [G] don't expect to be [C] bright and [D] bon-[G]vivant,
So far [F] a-[C]way [G] from [E] home,
[Dm] So [C] far a-[G]way from [C] home
[C] I don't know [F] a soul [C] whose [Dm] not [C] been [G] bat–[E]tered,
I don't have a [Am] friend who [E7] feels at [Am] ease,
[C] I don't know a [F] dream [C] whose [Dm] not [C] been [G] shat-[E]tered,
Or [Am] driven [E7] to its [Am] knees.
Oh, but It's [F] al–[G]right, It's [F] al–[C]right,
For we [F] lived [G] so [E] well so [E7] long.
[F] Still [G] when I think of the [C] road [G] we're [D] traveling [G] on,
I [F] wonder [C] what's [G] gone [E] wrong.
I [Dm] can't help but [C] wonder [G] what's gone [C] wrong
And I [C] dream I was dying,
I dreamed that my [G] soul rose unex-[Am]pectedly,
And [G] looking back [F] down at [C] me smiled reas–[G]suringly.
And I [C] dreamed I was flying,
And high up above [G] my eyes could [Am] clearly see
The Statue of [G] Liberty, [F] sailing a-[C]way to [G] sea,
And I dreamed I was [C] flying.
We come on the [F] ship [C] they [Dm] call [C] the May-[G]flow–[E]er,
We come on the [Am] ship that [E7] sailed the [Am] moon.
[C] We come in the [F] a-[C]ge's [Dm] most [C] unc–[G]certain [Am] hours,
And sing an [E7] American [Am] Tune.
Oh, and it's [F] al–[G]right, it's [F] al–[C]right,
You can [F] be for–[G]ev–[E]er [E7] blessed.
[F] Still to-[G]morrow's gonna be a–[C]noth–[G]er [D] working [G] day,
And I'm [F] trying to [C] get [G] some [E] rest,
[Dm] That's all I'm [C] trying, to [G] get some [C] rest.
