The Way I Am Tab

by Merle Haggard


Intro:             

                                 
Wish I was 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, keep on bein' the way I am. 

                                
Wish I enjoyed what makes my living,
                              
Did what I do with a willin' hand.
                                       
Some would run, ah, but that ain't like me.
                                           
So I just dream and keep on bein' the way I am.
           
                           
The way I am, don't fit my shackles.
                 
The way I am, reality.
                                
I can almost see that bobber dancin',
                                       
So I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am.

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

                                     
I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am.
