Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is my first submission. Thought I'd give it a go as I couldn't find it
elsewhere. Bit unsure about the lyrics in places.

F C F C
You used to be a one horse town but the pony went away,
F C Am G
Ended up in China 'cos they make it cheaper there they say,
F C Am G F
Now the store fronts all are empty and the factory is dead,
F C Am G
And these streets I used to walk on, now they're just my bed
Am G F
And I'm goin down... down... down
C
I'm goin down
F C F C
Did a couple years at college but I just couldn't make it stick,
F C Am G
Had to come back here and help Mama 'cos Daddy left when she got sick,
F C Am G F
She worked everyday for nothin' until she turned sixty two,
F C Am G
And on the same day that I buried her the bank folk closed on her house too
(Chorus)
F C G Am
It's my American dream and I've been all that I can be,
G F C G
With nothin' left to lose at all I guess I'm free,
Am G F
It's my American dream... dream... dream
C
It's my American dream
F C F C
So I stand here at this (Not sure of word!) and smile as best I can,
F C Am G
With a sign that says Jesus loves you but it's hard to think he gives a damn
F C Am G F
When they roll down their windows and put some spare change in my hand,
F C Am G
But I'd give it all right back to just be looked at like a man,
Am G F
And I'm goin down... down... down
C
I'm goin down
(Solo)
F C F C
When it's cold I try the mission on night's like this I sleep outside,
F C Am G
Under a bridge beside the interstate where I can hear those trucks roll by,
F C Am G F
And imagine I'm inside one, just rollin' down the road,
F C Am G
But I wake up just to realise that this place is now my home,
F C G Am
It's my American dream and I've been all that I can be,
G F C G
With nothin' left to lose at all I guess I'm free,
F C G Am
'Cos my American dream disappeared in front of me,
G F C G
And with nothin' left to lose at all I guess I'm free,
Am G F
It's my American dream... dream... dream
C
It's my American dream...
