1  AMERICAN TUNE1
  (words by Paul Simon music by JS Bach)  (words by Paul Simon music by JS Bach)
1                                              Many's the time I've been mistaken, 1
1  Many's the time I've been mistaken   1
  and many times confused  and many times confused
2  Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused.   And      I've often felt forsaken, and certainly misused. 2
  But it's all right, it's all right,  But it's all right, it's all right,
  I'm just weary to my bones  I'm just weary to my bones
  Still, you don't expect to be bright and Bon Vivant  Still, you don't expect to be bright and Bon Vivant
  So far away from home, so far away from home.  So far away from home, so far away from home.
2   2
  I don't know a soul who's not been battered  I don't know a soul who's not been battered
3  I don't have a friend who feels at ease   Don't        have a friend who feels at ease 3
4  I don't know a dream that's not been shattered   Don't        know a dream that's not been shattered 4
  Or driven to its knees.  Or driven to its knees.
5  Ah but it's all right, it's all right,   But      it's all right,       all right, 5
  We've lived so well so long  We've lived so well so long
  Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on,  Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on,
  I wonder what went wrong, I can't help it  I wonder what went wrong, I can't help it
  I wonder what went wrong.  I wonder what went wrong.
6                                                                  And I dreamed I was flying. I dreamed my soul rose 6
3  And I dreamed I was dying. I dreamed my soul rose   3
  unexpectedly, and looking back down on me, smiled  unexpectedly, and looking back down on me, smiled
7  reassuringly, and I dreamed I was flying.   reassuringly, and I dreamed I was dying. 7
8  And high up above, my eyes could clearly see   And far     above, my eyes could clearly see 8
9  The Statue of Liberty, sailing away to sea   The Statue of Liberty, drifting away to sea 9
  And I dreamed I was flying.  And I dreamed I was flying.
10                                                      We come on a ship we call the Mayflower, 10
4  We come on a ship they call the Mayflower,   4
  We come on a ship that sailed the moon  We come on a ship that sailed the moon
11  We come in the age's most uncertain hour   We come at the age's most uncertain hour 11
  And sing the American tune  And sing the American tune
  But it's all right, its all right  But it's all right, its all right
  You can't be forever blessed  You can't be forever blessed
  Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day  Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day
  And I'm trying to get some rest,  And I'm trying to get some rest,
  That's all, I'm trying to get some rest.  That's all, I'm trying to get some rest.
