[Intro]
E    A    E   A   B

[Versetto]
             E                D  A 
Wish I were down on some blue bayou, 
              E                 B 
With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand. 
                 E                 D  A 
But the road I'm on, don't seem to go there, 
          E                 B               E 
So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.
[Versetto]
         E                   D  A 
Wish I enjoyed what makes my living, 
           E               B 
Did what I do with willing hands. 
           E                      D    A 
Some would run, oh but that ain't like me, 
          E                 B               E    E7 
So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.
[Ritornello]
          A                E 
The way I am, don't fit my shackles, 
          B        E 
The way I am, reality. 
                             D   A 
I can almost see that bobber dancing, 
          E                 B               E 
So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.
[Strumentale]
E   A   E  A   E  E7

[Ritornello]
          A                E 
The way I am, don't fit my shackles, 
          B        E 
The way I am, reality. 
                             D   A 
I can almost see that bobber dancing, 
          E                 B               E 
So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.  
       E                 B            E        A 
I just dream and keep on being the way   I am. 
     E          A              E        A 
Yodelaaaeeeeey,   Yodel Oh del ayeeeeeee   (to fade)
