The Way I Am Chords by Merle Haggard

_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] Wish I [F#] were down on [E] some blue [B] bayou
With a [F#] bamboo cane stuck [C#] in the sand
But the [F#] road I'm on don't [E] seem to [B] go there
So I [F#] just dream, keep [C#] on being the [F#] way I am
Wish I enjoyed what [E] makes my [B] living
Did [F#] what I do with a [C#] willing hand
Some [F#] would run, but [E] that ain't [B] like me
So [F#] I just dream, keep [C#] on being the [F#] way I am
The [B] way I _ am don't fit [F#] my shackle
The way [C#] I am, [F#] reality
_ I can almost see that [E] barber [B] dancing
But I [F#] just dream, keep [C#] on being the [F#] way I am
The _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _
[F#] _ _ way [B] I am don't fit [F#] my shackle
The way [C#] I am, _ [F#] reality
_ I can almost see that barber [B] dancing
But I [F#] just dream, keep [C#] on being the way [F#] I am
I just dream, keep [C#] on being the way [F#] I am
_ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] Eerie
_ _ [B] _ _ [B] _
[F#] Oh, yeah
