[Intro 1]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
Many's the [F]time [C]I've [G]been [C]mis[G]taken[E]
And [Am]many [E]times con[Am]fused
[C]Yes, and [F]of [C]ten [G]felt [C]for[G]saken[C]
[E]And [Am]cer [E]tainly mis[Am]used[C]
Oh, but [F]I'm [G]all right, I'm [F]all [C]right
I'm just [F]we [C]ary [G]to [Abdim7]my bones[Am][A][D]
Still, you [G]don't expect to be
[C]Bright [G]and [D]bon vi[G]vant
[C]So [F]far [C]a w[G]ay from h[E]ome,[Am]
[Dm]so f[C]ar away [G]from home[C]

[Verse 2]
I don't know a [F]soul
[C]who's [G]not [C]been [G]bat- [E]tered
I don't have a [Am]friend who [E]feels at [Am]ease
I [C]don't know a [F]dream
[C]that's [G]not [C]been [G]shat[C]tered
[E]or [Am]driven [E]to its k[Am]nees[C]
Oh, but it's [F]all [G]right, it's [F]all [C]right
For we've [F]lived [C]so [G]well [Abdim7]so long
[Am][A][D]
Still, [G]when I think of the [C]road
[G]we're [D]traveling [G]on, [C]I w[F]ond[C]er
[G]what's gone [E]wrong, [Am]I can't help [Dm]it,
I [C]wonder [G]what's gone wro[C]ng

[Bridge 1]
And I dreamed I was [C]dying
I dreamed that my [G]soul
rose unex[Am]pectedly[Ebdim7]
And looking [G]back down at [F]me
Smiled reas[C]suringly[G]
And I dreamed I [C]was flying
And high up a[G]bove
my eyes could [Am]clearly [Ebdim7]see
The Statue of [G]Liberty[F]
Sailing a[C]way to [G]sea
And I dreamed [C]I was flying

[Verse 3]
We come on the [F]ship
[C]they [G]call [C]the May[G]flower[E]
We come on the [Am]ship
that [E]sailed the [Am]moon
We [C]come in the [F]a g[C]e's
[G]most [C]uncer- [G]tain hou[C]r
[E]and [Am]sing an [E]American [Am]tune
[C]Ooh, and it's [F]all [G]right,
it's [F]all right, it's all [C]right
You can't [F]be [C]for- [G]ever [Abdim7]blessed[Am]
[A][D]
Still, to[G]morrow's going to be
[C]an [G]other [D]working [G]day
And [C]I'm [F]trying [C]to [G]get some [E]rest
[Am]That's all I[Dm]'m t[C]ryin[G]g, to get some

[Outro 1]
[C](re[F]st)[C][G]
