  			My Elusive Dreams:Nancy Sinatra(Lee Hazelwood.) 
Top of the charts in 1967-'68. 

#1. 
C                 F        G               C 
I followed you to Texas, I followed you to Utah. 
                  F                 G 
We didn't find it there so we moved on. 
  C               F        G                     C 
I followed you to Alabam', things looked good in Birmingham. 
                  F                 G 
We didn't find it there so we moved on. 


              C        F          G          C 
I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes. 
F                C                G          C 
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams. 

#2. 
C                   F        G                    C 
I had your child in Memphis, you heard of work in Nashville. 
                  F                  G 
We didn't find it there, so we moved on.. 
     C             F              G            C 
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska. 
                    F                 G 
We couldn't find it there so we moved on. 

#3. 
C                  F         G                  C 
And now we've left Alaska, because there was no gold mine. 
                    F              G 
But this time, only two of us move on.  
    C                F             G                C 
And now we have each other...And a little memory to cling to. 
                    F             G 
And still you won't let me go on alone. 


              C        F          G          C 
I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes. 
F                C                 G          C 
For they're only fleeting things...my elusive dreams. 

ADD: 
F                C                 G          C 
For they're only fleeting things...my elusive dreams.
