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 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 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
