An American Dream Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
INTRO: D G A D D G A Bm G A (4 beats of each chord)
I [D]be[G]g your pardon, mama, what did you say?
My[A] m[D]ind was drifting off on Martinique Bay.
It[D]'s[G] not that I'm not interested, you see;
Au[A]gu[D]sta, Georgia is just no place to be.
[D] I[G] think Jamaican in the moonlight.
[A] S[D]andy beaches, drinking rum every night.
[D] W[G]e got no money, mama, but we can go;
[A] W[D]e'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove.
[D] [G]Keep on talking, mama, I can't hear.
[A] [D]Your voice, it tickles down in side of my ear.
[D] [G]I feel a tropical vac ation this year,
[A] [D]Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear.
[D] [G]I think Jamaican in the moonlight.
[A] [D]Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night.
[D] [G]We got no money, mama, but we can go;
[A] [D]We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove.
[D] [G]Voila! An A merican Dream.
[A] [D]Well, we can travel girl, with out any means.
[D] [G]When it's as easy as closing your eyes
[A] [D]And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign.
BREAK: D G A D D G A Bm G A (like intro)
[D] [G]Just keep talking, mama, I like that sound.
[A] [D]It goes so easy with that rain falling down.
[D] [G]I think a tropical vac ation this year,
[A] [D]Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear.
[D] [G]Voila! An A merican Dream.
[A] [D]Yeah, we can travel girl, with out any means.
[D] [G]When it's as easy as closing your eyes
[A] [D]And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign.
[D] [G]Just think Jamaican in the moonlight.
[A] [D]Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night.
[D] [G]We got no money, mama, but we can go;
[A] [D]Split the difference, go to Coconut Grove.
