Chords for Jerry Lee Lewis -I Am What I Am (Live 1986)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I wrote that song and I don't want [A#] to murder [B] it.
_ _ _ [E] I thought it sounded pretty good that way, but I look back at Kenneth and he gave me
a discouraging look.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] Son, don't you know something good when you hear [B] it? _
You do, don't you?
_ _ [G] _ _ _
_ Well, I was just born country, _ _ _ _ _ but I was raised on rock [A] and roll. _ _ _ _
But old [D] Hank Williams music burned him down [E] deep and jerely [G] so. _ _ _ _
If [C] Hank Williams was alive today, _ he'd [Em] say, son, keep [Gm] on rockin', [E] keep on shakin' that way.
[A] I am what I am, [D] not what you want me [G] to be.
_ _ Well, I [B] just am what I am, not what you want me [E] to be.
_ _ [B] _ _ _
[A] Why the hell does everybody want to pick on old [D] Jerely? _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Folks sat around and they'll say, [G]
hey boy, [D] you're rockin' [E] your life away.
Well, [A] I am what I am, honey, [D] not what you want me [G] to be. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ You know, folks love to criticize the things [F#m] Jerely do. _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] Hey, wait a minute, baby.
_ _ [A]
I'm [G] human too.
_ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [C] You may think I'm strange. _
[G] One damn fact for sure I [E] will never change.
[A] I am what I am, [D] _ [F#m] not what you want [G] me to be. _ _ _ _
I [B] just am what I am, baby, not what you want me [E] to be. _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] Why is everybody always picking [C#m] on old [D] Jerely?
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [C] Some folks sat around and said, [G] Jerely, you [E] ain't worth a damn.
But [A] I am what I am, [Bm] not what you want me to [G] be.
_ _ [E] Tester, lawyer, [A] barman or [E] bar, [D] rockin' mother [F#]
or [G] movie star. _ _ _ _ _
