Verse 1

            F#                E  B 
Wish I were down on some blue bayou, 
              F#                Db 
With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand. 
                 F#                E  B 
But the road I'm on, don't seem to go there, 
          F#                Db              F# 
So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.

Wish I enjoyed what makes my living, 
           F#              Db 
Did what I do with willing hands. 
           F#                     E    B 
Some would run, oh but that ain't like me, 
          F#                Db              F#   F#7 
So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.

The way I am, don't fit my shackles,

The way I am, reality.

I can almost see that bobber dancing, 
          F#                Db              F# 
So I just dream and keep on being the way I am.
