Gene Clark    American Dreamer  written by Gene Clark

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
