Subject: MY ELUSIVE DREAMS


My Elusive Dreams
Recorded by David Houston and Tammy Wynette
Words and Music by C. Putnam and B. Sherrill

T: I [D] followed you to [G] Texas
T: I [A7] followed you to [D] Utah
D: We didn't find it [G] there, so we [A7] moved on;
T: I [D] followed you to [G] Al-a-bam'
T: [A7] things looked good in [D] Birmingham
D: We didn't find it [G] there, so we moved [A7] on.

CHORUS
B: I know you're [D] tired of [G] followin'
B: [A7] My elusive [D] dreams and schemes
B: [G] For they're only [D] fleeting things
B: [A7] My elusive [D] dreams.

T: I had your child in Memphis
T: You heard of work in Nashville
D: We didn't find it there, so we moved on;
D: To a small farm in Nebraska
D: To a gold mine in Alaska
T: We didn't find it there, so we moved on.

D: And now we've left Alaska,
D: Because there was no gold mine.

(SPOKEN)
T: But this time, only two of us moved on
T: Now all we have is each other
T: And a little memory to cling to.
D: And still you won't let me go on alone.

D: I know you're tired of followin'
D: My elusive dreams and schemes
D: For they're only fleeting things
D: My elusive dreams.

B: For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams.
