A F#m D A
Think of all the things that money can buy
A F#m D A
A ranch in the mountains and a pleasure for your eye
A home you can call your own
D A D A
Then maybe think of all the things that a dollar bill won't bring
D A D E A F#m D A
Like someone to hold you close and a song for you to sing
A F#m D A
And then think of all the years that it takes to be a fool
A F#m D A
Like the lessons you learn in a lifetime like your lifetime was a
school
F#m D A
And then think of all the things that don't turn out what they seem
F#m, D E A F#m D A
Like the love you thought you owned in the American dream
A D A
The American dreamer sometimes a thinker sometimes a schemer
D A
Sometimes a child sometimes a wise man
F#m D A
A lonely sole a great extremer
D E A F#m D A
But none the less the American Dreamer
