Neil Diamond – I Am I Said (Ukulele)

C          
L.A. is fine, sunshine most of the time

F      
And the feeling is laid back

G 
Palm trees grow and the rents are low

        G7 
But you know I keep thinking about

C 
Making my way back

C 
Well, I'm New York City born and raised

                                   F 
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores

G 
L.A. is fine, but it ain't home

G7                                   C Csus4 C 
New York's home but it ain't mine no more

        C Csus4 C          F Fsus4 F
I am, I said,    to no one there

    F                        Dm       C 
And no one heard at all, not even the chair

        C Csus4 C           F Fsus4 F
I am, I cried,   I am, said I

    F                      Dm       C 
And I am lost, and I can't even say why

           G          
Leavin' me lonely still

C
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king 

F
and then became one

      G
Well, except for the names and a few other changes

G7                  C
If you talk about me, the story's the same one

C
But I got an emptiness deep inside

                                   F
And I've tried but it won't let me go

G
And I'm not a man who likes to swear

G7                                           C Csus4 C
But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

        C Csus4 C          F Fsus4 F
I am, I said,    to no one there

    F                        Dm       C 
And no one heard at all, not even the chair

        C Csus4 C           F Fsus4 F
I am, I cried,   I am, said I

    F                      Dm       C 
And I am lost, and I can't even say why

        C Csus4 C        F Fsus4 F
I am, I said     I am, I cried
