EAEAB7 [Verse 1]
EDA Wish I were down on some blue bayou,
EB7 With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand.
EDA But the road I'm on, don't seem to go there,
EB7E So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.
 [Chorus]
AE The way I am, don't fit my shackles,
B7E The way I am, reality.
DA I can almost see that bobber dancing,
EB7E So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.
EAEAEE7 [Verse 2]
EDA Wish I enjoyed what makes my living,
EB7 Did what I do with willing hands.
EDA Some would run, oh but that ain't like me,
EB7EE7 So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.
 [Chorus]
AE The way I am, don't fit my shackles,
B7E The way I am, reality.
DA I can almost see that bobber dancing,
EB7E So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.
