My Elusive Dreams

by Tammy Wynette with David Houston

G                   C

I'd followed you to Texas

    D7              G

I'd followed you to Utah

                  C           D7

We didn't find it there so we moved on

    G               C

I'd followed you to Al-a-bam

D7                    G

things looked good in Birmingham

                  C                 D7

We didn't find it there so we moved on

              G        C

I know you're tired of followin'

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

    D7               G

You heard of work in Nashville

                  C           D7

We didn't find it there so we moved on

     G               C

To a small farm in Nebraska

To a gold mine in Alaska

                  C                 D7

We didn't find it there so we moved on

G                   C

And now we've left Alaska

D7                   C

Because there was no gold mine

                   C         D7

But this time only two of us moved on

G                  C

Now all we have is each other

D7           G

And a little memory to cling to

    C                   G

And still you won't let me go on alone

              G        C

I know you're tired of followin'

D7         G

My elusive dreams and schemes

C                G

For they're only fleeting things

D7         G

My elusive dreams
