VERSE 1

 
C                 F        G               C
You followed me to Texas, You followed me to Utah.
F                C                 G
We didn't find it there so we moved on....
C                   F        G                     C
You went with me to Alabam', things looked good in Birmingham.
F                C                 G
We didn't find it there so we moved on....
 
 
CHORUS:
              C        F          G          C
I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes.
F                C                G          C
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams.
 
VERSE 2
 
C                   F        G                    C
You had my child in Memphis, then i heard of work in Nashville.
F                  C                  G
We didn't find it there, so we moved on....
     C             F              G            C
To a small farm in Nebraska,  a gold mine in Alaska.
F                  C                 G          G#
We couldn't find it there so we moved on....
 
VERSE 3
 
C#                  F#        G#                  C#
And now we've left Alaska, because there was no gold mine.
F#                  C#              G#
But this time, only two of us move on. 
C#                  F#            G#                C#
And now we have each other.... And a little memory to cling to.
F#                  C#             G#
And still you won't let me go on alone.
 
CHORUS:
              C#        F#         G#          C#
I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes.
F#               C#                 G#          C#
For they're only fleeting things....my elusive dreams.
 
 
F#               C#                 G#          F#        C#
For they're only fleeting things....my elusive dreams.
