Verse 

           D                 C G 
Wish I was down on some blue bayou 
         D                 A 
A bamboo cane stuck in the sand 
                 D                C  G 
But the road I'm on don't seem to go there 
             D                  A               D 
So I'll just dream, and keep on being the way I am 

         D                   C G 
Wish I enjoyed what makes my living 
           D                 A 
Did what I do with a willing hand 
           D                      C    G 
Some would run, ah but that ain't like me 
             D                  A               D 
So I'll just dream, and keep on being the way I am 


          G               D 
The way I am don't fit my shackles 
          A        D 
The way I am, reality 
             D               C  G 
I can almost see that bobber dancin' 
             D              A               D 
So I'll just dream, keep on being the way I am 


Bridge: D G  D A D D7 


          G               D 
The way I am don't fit my shackles 
          A        D 
The way I am, reality 
             D               C  G 
I can almost see that bobber dancin' 
             D                  A               D 
So I'll just dream, and keep on being the way I am 
             D              A               D 
So I'll just dream, keep on being the way I am
