[Verse 1]
[G]Many's the tim[C]e I'v[Em]e bee[Am]n mis[D]taken,
[B][Baug][Em]
And many [B]times confused
[Em]Yes, and I've ofte[C]n
[Em]felt[Am] forsa[G]ke[D]n,[B]
And [Em]certainly [Baug]misused.[B]
[Em]Oh, [G]but I'm all righ[C]t,[D]
I'm [C]all [Bm]right,
I'm [C]just [Em]weary [D]to [Em]my b[Am]ones—
Still, you [D]don't expect to be
[Bm]bright and [A]bon [D]vivant
[C]So far [D]away from [B]home,[Bm][Em]
So [D]far away from [G]home.

[Verse 2]
I don't know [C]a soul who's [Am]not
[G]been [D]bat[B]tered;
I don't have a [Em]friend who [B]feels at [Em]ease.
I don't know a [C]dream that's
[D]not been [B]shattered,
Or [Em]driven [B]to its [Em]knees.[G]
Oh, but it's [C]all [D]right,
It's [C]all [G]right,
For we've [C]lived so [D]well,
[Em]so l[E]ong—[Am]
Still, [D]when I think of the [G]road
We're trav[A]eling [D]on,
[G]I won[C]der wha[D]t's gone
[Bm]wron[B]g;[Em]
I can't help [D]it, I wonder
What's gone [G]wrong.

[Verse 3]
[G]
And I dreamed I was dying.
I dreamed that [D]my soul
rose unexpec[Em]tedly,
[C#dim]And looking back down at m[D]e,
[C]Smiled reassur[G]ingly.[D]
And I dreamed I [G]was flying.

[Verse 4]
[G]
High [D]up above,
my eyes could [Em]clearly [C]see
The [Bbdim]statue of[D] li[C]berty
Sail[G]ing [D]away to sea
And I dreamed I [G]was crying.

[Verse 5]
We come on the [C]ship they
[D]call "Mayflower,"
[B]We come on the[Em] ship that
[B]sailed to the moon,
[Em]We come in the a[C]ge's m[D]ost
uncertain [Bm]hour,
And [Em]sing an Americ[Baug]an tune.[Em]
[G]Oh, and it's all[C] rig[D]ht,
It's [C]all right, it's [G]all right;
You can[C]'t be [D]forever [Em]bless[E]ed[Am]—
Still, tomor[D]row's gonna be
[G]an [Am]other [A]working [D]day,
[G]And I'm try[C]ing to get[D]
[Bm]some [B]res[Em]t;
That's [D]all, I'm trying
To get some [G]rest.
