CAPO I

(Intro   A  Am9   A  A  Am9  A)

A
I used to see you on every T.V.,  your smiling face looked back at me. 
D								          A
I used to see you on every T.V.,  your smiling face looked back at me. 
E
Then they caught you with the girl next door, People's money piled on the
floor, 
Bm                                               D
                                                 A  Am9  A  etc.
Accusations that you try to deny, Revelations and rumors begin to fly. 
A      
Now you think about reaching out, maybe get some help from above. 
D   								        A
Now you think about reaching out, maybe get some help from above. 
E
Reporters crowd around your house going through your garbage like a pack of
hounds, 
Bm                                                  D
                                                          A
Speculating what they may find out, it don't matter now, you're all washed
up. 
E					A  E					    A    E
You wake up in the middle of the night, your sheets are wet and your face is
white. 
E                   			    A     E					        Bsus2
You tried to make a good thing last.   How could something so good, go bad,
so fast? 
 A                                             Bm     
American dream, American dream 
A                                              Bm    D
American dream, American dream. 
A
Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and
strong. 
D											A
Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and
strong.

American dream, American dream.  Don't know when things went wrong, 
					           A
Might have been when you were young and strong.   American dream, American
dream.

giving this a go

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Helplessly Hoping (Stephen Stills)
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Helplessly Hoping. From the Double LP: Long Time Gone, Swingin` Pig Records, released 1989. Recorded live at Lakehurst, New Jersey, June 3, 1970. Helplessly Hoping (lyrics) Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearsby Awaiting a word Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs wishing he could fly only to trip at the sound of good-bye Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders at the empty place inside Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries did he hear a good-bye or even Hello They are 1 person They are too alone They are 3 together They are for each other Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you confusion has its cost Love isn't lying its loose in a lady who lingers saying she is lost And choking on hello They are 1 person They are too alone They are 3 together They are for each other

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Teach Your Children (Graham Nash)
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Teach Your Children. From the Double LP: Long Time Gone, Swingin` Pig Records, released 1989. Recorded live at Lakehurst, New Jersey, June 3, 1970. Teach Your Children. (lyrics) You, who are on the road must have a code that you can live by. And so become yourself because the past is just a good bye. Teach your children well, their father's hell did slowly go by, And feed them on your dreams, the one they fix, the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you. And you, of the tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by, And so please help them with your youth, they seek the truth before they can die. Teach your parents well, their children's hell will slowly go by, And feed them on your dreams, the one they fix,the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - On The Way Home. From the Double LP: Long Time Gone, Swingin` Pig Records, released 1989. Recorded live at Lakehurst, New Jersey, June 3, 1970. On The Way Home.(lyrics) When the dream came I held my breath with my eyes closed I went insane, like a smoke ring day When the wind blows Now I won't be back till later on If I do come back at all But to know me (you know me) And I miss you now In a strange game I saw myself as you knew me When the change came And you had a change to see through me Though the other side is just the same You can tell my dream is real Because I love you (I love you I do) Can you feel it now Though we rush ahead to save our time We are only what we feel And I love you (I love you I do) Can you feel it now (can you feel it now) Can you feel it now (can you feel it now) Can you feel it now (can you feel it now)
