  THE WAY I AM

  Recorded by Merle Haggard

  Writer: Sonny Throckmorton

  

  CAPO: 1st Fret/KEY: F#/PLAY: F

  [F] Wish I was down on some blue [Bb] bayou

  With a bamboo [F] cane stuck in the [C7] sand

  But the road I'm [F] on - don't seem to [Bb] go there

  So I Just [F] dream - keep on [C7] bein' the way [F] I am.

  

  Wish I enjoyed what makes my living 

  Did what I do with a willin' hand 

  Some would run - but that ain't like me

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

  

  Chorus:

  The way I [Bb] am, don't fit my [F] shackles

  The way I am - re-ali-[C7] ty

  I can almost [F] see - that bobber [Bb] dancin'

  But I just [F] dream - keep on [C7] bein' the way I [F] am.

  

  Repeat Chorus:

  

  TAG:  I just dream - keep on bein' the way I am.

        Yod-el lay-te-ee he-ee, yod-el lay-te-ee.
