Merle Haggard - The way i am

^EINTRO^{A E A B}

Wish I were d^Eown on some blue ^Dbay^Aou, With a bamboo ^Ecane stuck in the ^Bsand. But the road I'm ^Eon, don't seem to ^Dgo ^Athere, So I just ^Edream and keep on ^Bbeing the way I ^Eam.

Wish I en^Ejoyed what makes my ^Dliv^Aing, Did what I ^Edo with willing ^Bhands. Some would ^Erun, oh but that ain't ^Dlike ^Ame, So I just ^Edream and keep on ^Bbeing the way I ^Eam. ^E7

The way I ^Aam, don't fit my ^Eshackles, The way I ^Bam, reali^Ety. I can almost see that bobber ^Ddanc^Aing, So I just ^Edream and keep on ^Bbeing the way I ^Eam.

^EINST^ARUME^ENTA^AL ^{E E7}

I just ^Edream and keep on ^Bbeing the way^E I am. ^A Yodel^Eaaaeeeeey, ^A Yodel Oh del ^Eayeeeeeee^A (to fade)
