VERSE:
Db
I have a dream 
     Db
It's only one dream
       F#                  
But I know 
                 Db
Dreams can come true

    Db
And I have a wish 
     Db
It's only one wish
       F#                      
But I know  
           Db
Wishes can too

Db
I want to be
Db
Far away from here
            F#               
With those honky tonk heroes 
 Eb
Burnin' my ears 


CHORUS:
       Db
Oh, oh I

I Love American music 
Db
  I play it all night long
F#
  Just me n' my records n' a 
Ab                Db
  A vivid imagination

Db
  I love to dance in the mirror 
Db                         F#
  I practice every single word
                   
And it seems to me 
Ab                                Db

D                              Ebm   
  I sit and watch my world go round n'

Round n' round n' round n' round
