Merle Haggard

^F Wish I was down on some blue ^Bb bayou
With a bamboo ^F cane stuck in the ^C7 sand
But the road I'm ^F on - don't seem to ^Bb go there
So I Just ^F dream - keep on ^C7 bein' the way ^F I am.
Wish I enjoyed what makes my living
Did what I do with a willin' hand
Some would run - but that ain't like me
I just dream and keep on bein' the way I am.
Chorus:
The way I ^Bb am, don't fit my ^F shackles
The way I am - re-ali- ^C7 ty
I can almost ^F see - that bobber ^Bb dancin'
But I just ^F dream - keep on ^C7 bein' the way I ^F am.
Repeat Chorus:
TAG: I just dream - keep on bein' the way I am.
