intro : A G D A G D E

A G D
wish i was down on some blue bayou ,
A E
with a bamboo cane stuck in the sand .
A G D
but the road i’m on , don’t seem to go there ,
A E A
so i just dream , keep on bein’ the way i Am .

A G D
wish i enjoyed what makes my living ,
A E
did what i do with a willin’ hand .
A G D
some would run , ah , but that ain’t like me .
A E A
so i just dream and keep on bein’ the way i Am .

D A
the way i Am , don’t fit my shackles .
E A
the way i Am , reality .
A G D
i can almost see that bobber dancin’ ,
A E A
so i just dream , keep on bein’ the way i Am .
