Martin Sexton - The way i am

^F The other ^Cnight I had a ^Gcrazy dream^{C F}'Bout a man in a ^Cfishing hat ^Gselling magaz^Cines ^F All the way from^C Kingston he'd w^Gorked his way do^Cwn ^F I bought him a ^Cdrink on the ^Gnight they kicked him out of ^Ctown

He said, ^D#"You know I don't ^Flike the way I ^Cam." ^D# "No, I don't ^Flike the way I ^Cam." "Oh, ^Gno."

^F And I saw an old ^Cfisherman out s^Gwayin' on a dock^{C F} Swigging a jug of ^Csomething and a string of ^Gfish that he had caug^Cht ^F His wife had ^Cleft him just a ^Gweek before ^{C F} She packed up her ^Cbags and waltzed on ^Gout the door ^C

And she said,^D# "You know I don't ^Flike the way I a^Cm." ^D# "No, I don't ^Flike the way I ^Cam." And then she ^Gcried, right out loud.

She sang, "^FAa-ee, lo-^Coo, ^Gday-ee, ee-^Cee. ^FAa-ee, lo-^Coo, ^Gday-ee, ^Cee-ee. ^FYay-ee, lo-^Coo, ^Gday-ee, ee-^Cee. ^FYay-ee, lo-^Coo, ^Gday-ee, ^Ceeee^Feeeee^Ceeeeee-^Geeeee-eeeee

^F And you and me ^Cwalked down the ^Gshores of our youth^{C F} Chasing the ^Csunrise, ch^Gallenging the^C truth ^F It's all so ^Cdistant now I've ^Gseen too many li^Ces ^F Turning my vi^Csion into cr^Gumbling demi^Gse

Makes me want to ^D#say, "You know I don't^F like the way I^C am." ^D# I sing, "I don't ^Flike the way I ^Cam." ^D# But I'm gonna ^Fchange the way I ^Cam ^D# I'm gonna ^Fchange the way I ^Cam Right ^Gnow. Hear me ^Gcrying out loud.

Singing, "A^Fa-ee, lo-o^Co, d^Gay-ee, ee-e^Ce. ^FAa-ee, lo-^Coo, ^Gday-ee, ^Cee-ee. ^FYay-ee, lo-^Coo, ^Gday-ee, ee-^Cee. ^FYay-ee, lo-^Coo, ^Gday-ee, ^Ceeee^Feeeee^Ceeeeee-^Geeeee-eeeee

^F The other ^Cnight I had a ^Gcrazy dream^{C F}'Bout a man in a ^Cfishing hat ^Gselling old m^Cagazines ^F All the way from^C Kingston he'd w^Gorked his way do^Cwn ^F And I bought him a ^Cdrink on the ^Gnight they kicked him out of ^Gtown. He said to me just like this, he said

^D#"You know I don't like^F the way I am."^{C D#} I sing, "I do^Fn't like the wa^Cy I am." ^D# "But I'm gonna^F change the way I^C am. Yes I am." ^D# "I'm gonna^F change the way I^C am" ^G Then he played the sweetest song for me, on his ^Gsqueeze-box by the sea

^FAa-ee, lo-oo, day-ee, ee-ee. ^N.C.Yay-ee, lo-oo, day-ee, eeeeeee-ee-ee-ee-ee-eeeeee
