My Elusive Dreams Lyrics

Roger Miller
??My Elusive Dreams??
Verse rhythm
e------2--2----------3--3-------0??0-----------2--2-
You followed me to Texas, you followed me to Utah
D G A (repeat above rhythms)
We didn??t find it there so we moved on
Then you went with me to Al-a-bam
Things looked good in Birmingham
But we didn??t find it there so we moved on
Chorus (walkup A to D)
G----------------2 (repeat above rhythms)
I know you're tired of fol-low-ing
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things,
A D(start intro here)
My elusive dreams
You had my child in Memphis then I heard of work in Nashville
But we didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on
Now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us moved on
And now all we have is each other and a little memory
To cling to and still you won't let me go on alone
