My American Dream Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 And I'm goin dowAmn... dGown... doFwn

 I'm goin dCown

FDid a couple years at coCllege but I justF couldn't make it stickC,

FHad to come back here and help MCama 'cos Daddy lAmeft when she got sicGk,

FShe worked everyday for notChin' until sAmhe turned sGixty tFwo,

 And on the sFame day that I bCuried her the bank folk clAmosed on her house toGo

(Chorus)

FIt's my American dCream and I've Gbeen all that I can Ambe,

 With nGothin' Fleft to lose at Call I guess I'm fGree,

 It's my American dAmream... dGream... dreFam

 It's my American dCream

FSo I stand here at this (NCot sure of word!) Fand smile as best I caCn,

 With a sFign that says Jesus lCoves you but it's Amhard to think he gives a damGn

FWhen they roll down their Cwindows and put some Amspare change Gin my haFnd,

 But IF'd give it all right bCack to just be lAmooked at like a mGan,

 And I'm goin doAmwn... Gdown... dFown

 I'm goin dCown

(Solo)

FWhen it's cold I try the mCission on night's like tFhis I sleep outsiCde,

 Under a Fbridge beside the iCnterstate where I can Amhear those trucks roll bGy,

 AFnd imagine I'm insiCde one, just Amrollin' dGown the roaFd,

 But I wFake up just to rCealise that this pAmlace is now my hGome,

FIt's my American dCream and I've Gbeen all that I can Ambe,

 With nGothin' Fleft to lose at Call I guess I'm fGree,

F'Cos my American dCream disapGpeared in front of mAme,

 And with nGothin' Fleft to lose at Call I guess I'm fGree,

 It's my American dAmream... dGream... dreFam

 It's my American dCream...
