[Verse]

    A              D          E              A
You followed me to Texas, you followed me to Utah
                  D           E
We didn't find it there so we moved on
A                   D
You went with me to A-la-bam'
E                     A
Things looked good in Birmingham
                  D           E
We didn't find it there so we moved on


[Chorus]

              A        D/F# A/D D A A/C# E
I know you're tired of fol-low-ing
           A
My elusive dreams and schemes
D                A
For they're only fleeting things
E          A
My elusive dreams


[Verse 2]

                    D              E                A
You had my child in Memphis then I heard of work in Nashville
                      D           E
But we didn't find it there so we moved on
     A             D              E            A
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska
                  D           E       F  Eb/G F/A
We didn't find it there so we moved on


[Verse 3]

Bb               Eb       F                  Bb
Now we've left A-las-ka because there was no gold mine
                   Eb        F
But this time only two of us moved on
Bb      Eb                        F
And now all we have is each other and a little memory
   Bb                           Eb        F
To cling to and still you won't let me go on alone


[Chorus 2]

              Bb       Eb/G Bb/F Eb Bb/D F
I know you're tired of following
          Bb
My elusive dreams and schemes
Eb               Bb
For they're only fleeting things
F          Bb   Cm Dm
My elusive dreams
Eb               Bb
For they're only fleeting things
F          Bb      F Bb
My elusive dreams
