The Way I Am Merle Haggard

Capo 2

[E]INTRO[A] [E] [A] [B]

Verse 1

 
 --------

Wish I were d[E]own on some blue [D]bay[A]ou,

With a bamboo [E]cane stuck in the [B]sand.

But the road I'm [E]on, don't seem to [D]go [A]there,

So I just [E]dream and keep on [B]being the way I [E]am.

Verse 2

 
 --------

Wish I en[E]joyed what makes my [D]liv[A]ing,

Did what I [E]do with willing [B]hands.

Some would [E]run, oh but that ain't [D]like [A]me,

So I just [E]dream and keep on [B]being the way I [E]am.[E7]

Chorus

 
 -------

The way I [A]am, don't fit my [E]shackles,

The way I [B]am, reali[E]ty.

I can almost see that bobber [D]danc[A]ing,

So I just [E]dream and keep on [B]being the way I [E]am.

[E]INST[A]RUME[E]NTA[A]L[E] [E7]

*Repeat Chorus*

I just [E]dream and keep on [B]being the way[E] I am.[A]

Yodel[E]aaaeeeeey, [A] Yodel Oh del [E]ayeeeeeee[A] (to fade)
