Words & music by Paul Simon Man-y's the time I've been mis-tak-en 5 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 5 And man-y times con-fused. -7 7 7 -7 -7 -6 Yes, and I've of-ten felt for-sak-en 5 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 6 5 And cer-tain-ly mis-used -7 7 8 -8 8 -8 Oh, but I'm all right, I'm all right 7 7 7 -7 6 6 -6-7-66 6 I'm just wea-ry to my bones 6 6 -6 7 6 -5 5 Still, you don't ex-pect to be 7 -6 -7 7 -8 7 -7 Bright and bon vi-vant 7 -7 -6 6 -7 So far a-way from home, 5 -5 6 6 -4 5 so far a-way from home -67 6 5 5 -4 4 I don't know a soul 4 5 6 6 -6 who's not been bat-tered 6 -5 5 -4 5 I don't have a friend who feels at ease 5 -7 -7 -7 7 7 -7 -7 -6 I don't know a dream that's 5 5 6 6 -6 6 not been shat-tered -5 5 -4 6 5 or driv-en to its knees -7 7 8 -8 8 -8 Oh, but it's all right, it's all right 7 7 7 7 -7 6 -6-7-66 6 for we lived so well so long 6 6 -6 7 6 -5 5 Still, when I think of the 7 -7 7 -8 7 -7 road we're trav-�ling on 7 -7 -6 6 -7 I won-der what's gone wrong 5 -5 6 6 -4 5 I can't help it, I won-der what's gone wrong 5 -6 -6 6 6 6 5 5 -4 4 And I dreamed I was dying I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly And looking back down at me Smiled reassuringly And I dreamed I was flying And high up above my eyes could clearly see The Statue of Liberty Sailing away to sea And I dreamed I was flying We come on the ship they call the Mayflower We come on the ship that sailed the moon We come in the age's most uncertain hours and sing an American tune Oh, and it's alright, it's all right, it's all right You can't be forever blessed Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day And I'm trying to get some rest That's all I'm trying to get some rest |
