[Verse 1]
G
Woke up this mornin'
C G
And thought I was fine
G
Walked in the kitchen
D
A quarter to nine
G
Poured me some coffee
C G
Read me some news
G
When I looked up
D G
All hell broke loose
G
There's a hole in the roof
G
It's coming right through
C
The water's all gone cold
G
Heater's makin' noise again
D G
And the bread's all growin' mold
[Chorus]
C G
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree
D
I'm lookin' up at you
G
You're lookin' down on me
C G C
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
D C G
I'm livin' the American Dream
D C G
I'm livin' the American Dream
[Verse 2]
G C G
I hate to let my old lady down
D
This time I took her out on the town
G C G
If I had my way, I'd give her the world
D G
Lord only knows how I love that girl
G
But the yard needs mowin'
G
Bills need payin'
C
Phone's ringing off the line
G
I got me a list of "Honey do's"
D G
I just can't find the time
[Chorus]
C G
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree
D
I'm lookin' up at you
G
You're lookin' down on me
C G C
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
D C G
I'm livin' the American Dream
D C G
I'm livin' the American Dream
(music)
C G
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree
D
I'm lookin' up at you
G
You're lookin' down on me
C G C
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
D C G
I'm livin' the American Dream
D C G
I'm livin' the American Dream
D C G
I'm livin' the American Dream
D C G
I'm livin' the American Dream
