E A E A B7 [Verse 1] E D A Wish I were down on some blue bayou, E B7 With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand. E D A But the road I'm on, don't seem to go there, E B7 E So I just dream and keep on being the way I am. [Chorus] A E The way I am, don't fit my shackles, B7 E The way I am, reality. D A I can almost see that bobber dancing, E B7 E So I just dream and keep on being 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 D A Some would run, oh but that ain't like me, E B7 E E7 So I just dream and keep on being the way I am. [Chorus] A E The way I am, don't fit my shackles, B7 E The way I am, reality. D A I can almost see that bobber dancing, E B7 E So I just dream and keep on being the way I am. E B7 E A I just dream and keep on being the way I am.
