    (G)               (C)         (D7)             (G)
You followed me to Texas, You followed me to Utah
                  (C)                 (D7)
We didn't find it there so we moved on
    (G)              (C)      (D)                   (G)
You followed me to Alabam things look good in Birmingham
                   (C)           (D7)
We didn't find it there so we moved on


          
           (Chorus)
(C)        (D)     (G)        (C)
I know you're tired of following 
(D7)          (G)
My elusive dreams and schemes
(C)                (G)              
For they're only fleeting things 
(D7)          (G)
My elusive dreams




I had your child in Memphis you heard of work in Nashville
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

        
Sing Chorus


And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us moves on
Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling 
                                                       to
And still you won't let me go on alone




I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams

For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
