The Way I Am

E    A    E   A   B7

[Verse 1]
             E                D  A
Wish I were down on some blue bayou,
              E                
With a bamboo cane stuck in the 
 B7
sand.
                 E                 
But the road I'm on, don't seem to 
D  A
go there,
          E                 B7    
So I just dream and keep on being 
           E
the way I am.


[Chorus]
          A                E
The way I am, don't fit my shackles,
          B7        E
The way I am, reality.
Continues after the ad
I can almost see that bobber 
D   A
dancing,
          E                 B7    
So I just dream and keep on being 
           E
the way I am.

[Instrumental]
E   A   E  A   E  E7


[Verse 2]
         E                   D  A
Wish I enjoyed what makes my living,
           E               B7
Did what I do with willing hands.
           E                      
Some would run, oh but that ain't 
D    A
like me,
          E                 B7    
So I just dream and keep on being 
           E    E7
the way I am.


[Chorus]
          A                E
The way I am, don't fit my shackles,
          B7        E
The way I am, reality.
I can almost see that bobber 
D   A
dancing,
          E                 B7    
So I just dream and keep on being 
          E
the way I am.

       E                 B7       
I just dream and keep on being the
    E        A
 way   I am.
