An American Dream Chords

(ver. 1)
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
[Intro]

       D   G   A   D   D   G   A  


[Verse 1]  

           D                        G                    A 
         I beg your pardon, mama, what did you say? My mind was drifting 

off on D Martinique Bay. It's not that I'm not G interested, you see; 
A                        D  
Augusta, Georgia is just no place to be. 


[Chorus]  

          D                       G           A                       D  
          I think Jamaican in the moonlight. Sandy beaches, drinking rum 
             D                      G              A 
every night. We got no money, mama, but we can go; We'll split the 
                  D
difference, go to Coconut Grove. 


[Verse 2]  

           D                      G           A                 
          Keep on talking, mama, I can hear. Your voice, it tickles down 
D                                   G                   A 
inside of my ear. I feel a tropical vacation this year, might be the answer
        D
to this hillbilly beer.


[Chorus]  

          D                       G           A                       D  
          I think Jamaican in the moonlight. Sandy beaches, drinking rum 
             D                      G              A 
every night. We got no money, mama, but we can go; We'll split the 
                  D
difference, go to Coconut Grove.


[Verse 3]  

           D          G               A                         D 
         Voila!  An American Dream. Well, we can travel girl, without any means.
 D                    G                     A                  D
When it's as easy as closing your eyes and dream Jamaica is a big neon sign.

[Verse 2]  

           D                      G           A                 
         Keep on talking, mama, I can hear. Your voice, it tickles down 
D                                   G                   A 
inside of my ear. I feel a tropical vacation this year, might be the answer

 D                    G                     A                  D
When it's as easy as closing your eyes and dream Jamaica is a big neon sign


[Chorus]

          I think Jamaican in the moonlight. Sandy beaches, drinking rum

                  D
difference, go to Coconut Grove.
