Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

 Wish I were down on some blue bayou,

 With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand.

 But the road I'm on, don't seem to go there,

 So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.

Verse 2

 Wish I enjoyed what makes my living,

 Did what I do with willing hands.

 Some would run, oh but that ain't like me,

 So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.

Chorus

 The way I am, don't fit my shackles,

 The way I am, reality.

 I can almost see that bobber dancing,

 So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.

Instrumental

 I just dream and keep on being the way I am.

 Yodelaaaeeeeey, Yodel Oh del ayeeeeeee (to fade)
