[Verse 1]
G Em C G
I lit the fire, poured out the bottle

Asked the moonlight what it might have seen
Em Bm C D
If it answered, I can't remember

I fell down in to the American Dream

G Em C G
Been too long in the Devil's workshop

So I'm driving the backbone to change the scenery
Em Bm C D
Here come the horses through purgatory

They fell down in to the American Dream
[Chorus]
D C G
Summer time sunshine, shine on me
C G D
Show me where I'm going
[Verse 3]

I'll find an old friend in El Dorado

Like Harry Dean Stanton on a drive-in screen

A tumbleweed blowing through Paris, Texas

He fell down in to the American Dream

Sun-bleached dresses wavin' from a clothesline

Come Saturday evening, they'll have a place to be

I'll pick some flowers to take to her Mama

I fell down in to the American Dream
[Chorus]

Summer time sunshine, shine on me

Won't you show me where I'm goin'?

Leaving San Francisco for New Orleans
C G D
I can hear that rooster crowin'
[Verse 4]

Spit and polish the ancient story

Love and glory, gold and greed

Nothing changes, even if it wants to

We go down in to the American Dream

We go down..........baby

On down to New Orleans
