[Intro]
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.
