  Verse:

   G 	    D                   A    D

  The other night I had a crazy dream

   G                D                         A    D   

  Bout a man in a fishin hat, he was sellin magazines

   G                 D               A             D

  All the way from Kingston he had worked his way down

   G                   D                       A           

  And I bought him a drink on the night they kicked him outta town

  

       F                      G             D

  He said, "You know I don't like the way I am

   F                G             D

  You know I don't like the way I am

   F                G             D

  You know I don't like the way I am

          F           G             D

  No, no, no I don't like the way I am"

  

  

  Verse:

  And I saw an old fisherman swayin on the dock

  Swingin a junk of somethin and the string of fish that he had caught

  His wife had left him just a week before

  She packed up her bags and waltzed on out the door

  

  

  She said, "You know I don't like the way I am

  You know I don't like the way I am

  You know I don't like the way I am

  You know I don't like the way I am

  And then she cried right aloud

  

  

  Chorus:

              G        D   A        D

  She sang, "Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee

   G        D   A        D

  Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee

   G        D   A        D

  Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee

   G        D   A        D       A

  Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-eeeee-eeeeee"

  

  

  Verse:

  And you and me walked down the shores of our youth

  Chasin the sunrise and challenging the truth

  It's all so distant now, I've seen too many lies

  Turning my vision into crumbling demise

  

  Aww, you know I don't like the way I am

  I don't like the way I am

  But you know, I'm gonna change the way I am

  Oh yes I am, I'm gonna change the way I am

  Right now, hear me crying

  

  Sing, Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee

  Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-he

  Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee

  Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-eeeee-eeeeee

  

  

  Verse:

  The other night I had a crazy dream

  About a man in a fishin hat he was sellin old magazines

  All the way from Kingston he had worked his way down

  And I, I bought him a drink on the night they kicked him outta town

  

  He said to me, he said, "You know I don't like the way I am (just like that)

  You know I don't like the way I am

  But I'm gonna change the way I am, yes I am

  I'm gonna change the way I am"

  

  

  Chorus:

  Then he played a song for me on a sqeeze-box

  Say hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo

  hooo-hooo

  hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo

  hooo-hooo

  hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo-oo hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo-oo

  hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo-oo

  hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo

  hooo-hooo

  

  Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-he

  Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee

  Aaaahhh
