The Way I Am Tab

by Merle Haggard


Capo 2


              
INTRO


Verse 1
--------

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


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


Chorus
-------

                          
The way I am, don't fit my shackles,
                  
The way I am, reality.
                                
I can almost see that bobber dancing,
                                          
So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.



             
INSTRUMENTAL



*Repeat Chorus*


                                               
I just dream and keep on being the way   I am.

                                     
Yodelaaaeeeeey,   Yodel Oh del ayeeeeeee   (to fade)
