Tom: C5

     C5          F5     C5   G5     C5   G5  E5      A5            A5
     Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused
     C5            F5  C5  G5   C5   G5   C5 B5 A5    E5        A5
     Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused
     C5         F5   G5         F5   C5             F5  C5  G5  G#5  A5   A5
     Aw, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones
     D5         G5                     C5  G5  D5       G5
     Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
     C5    F5 C5  G5      E5 A5 D5 C5   G5      C5
     So far away from home, so far away from home
     C5                  F5    C5     G5   C5      G5    E5
     And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
                    A5            E5           A5
     I don't have a friend that's feels at ease
     C5              F5     C5       G5 C5      G5     C5 B5  A5   E5          A5
     I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees
     C5         F5   G5         F5   C5            F5     C5  G5  G#5  A5   A5
     Aw, but it's alright, it's alright for we lived so well so long
     D5    G5                  C5    G5       D5         G5
     Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on 
     C5   F5 C5      C5  G5        E5 A5      D5          C5  G5          C5
     I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong
                 C5
                 And I dreamed I was dying...
                                   G5      G5        A5    D#5
             I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
                                  G5       F5 C5                G5
             And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly
                 G5                  C5
             And I dreamed I was flying....
     C5                  F5     C5   G5    C5         G5
     For we come on the ship they call Mayflower
     E5              A5        E5           A5
     We come on the ship that sailed the moon
        C5           F5 C5  G5    C5  G5         C5  B5  A5       E5         A5
     We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune
     C5              F5   G5         F5   C5          F5  C5  G5 E5 A5
     Aw, but it's alright, it's alright you can't be forever blessed
     D5       G5                  C5  G5 D5       G5
     Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day
     C5         F5    C5  G5            E5 A5      D5  C5      G5     G5   C5
     And I'm trying to get some rest, that's all I'm trying to get some rest
                 C5 
                 And I dreamed I was flying....
                             G5       G5           A5        D#5
             And high up above my eyes could clearly see
                               G5        C5               G5
             The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea
                G5                   C5
             And I dreamed I was flying....
