I Am...I Said Chords by Neil Diamond

[Intro]
Bb Fsus4 Bb Bbsus4 Bb
■  ■     ■  ■      ■ 
                   Bb              
La's fine sunshine most of the time
Eb     Bbsus4              
■  The feeling is laid back


[Verse]
F                                      
■ Palm trees grow and the rents are low
                                   Bb
But you know I keep thinking about ■ 
              Bbsus4
Making my way back  
Bb                                       
■  Well I'm New York City born and raised
                      Eb                
But nowadays I'm lost between two shores
F                          
La's fine but it ain't home
                    F7            Bb Bbsus4 Bb
New York's home but it ain't mine no more   ■ 
       Bb  
I am I said
   Bbsus4      
To no one there
    Eb                    
And ■  no one heard at all


[Chorus]
                   Bb
Not even the chair ■ 
             Fsus4
I am I cried ■    
Bb           Eb
■  I am said I 


[Intro]
                                   Bb 
And I am lost and I can't even say why
F            Bb           Fsus4 Bb
■ Leavin' me lonely still ■     ■ 


[Verse]
Eb Bb                                                        
■  Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king
Eb                    
■  And then became one
F                                                
Well except for the names and a few other changes
                     F7  Bb                     
If you talk about me the ■  story's the same one
Bb                                
But I got an emptiness deep inside
                                Eb   
And I've tried but it won't let me go
    F                               
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
F7                                    Bb         
But I've never cared for the sound of being alone


[Chorus]
     Bb    
I am I said
          Eb   
To no one there
           Eb          
And no one heard at all
    Bb            
Not even the chair
  Bb        
I am I cried
          Eb
I am said I 
                                   Bb  F
And I am lost and I can't even say why ■
     Bb    
I am I said


[Outro]
Eb Bb Fsus4 Eb Bb Eb
■  ■  ■     ■  ■  ■ 
  Bb        
I am I cried
Eb Bb Eb Bb Fsus4 Eb
■  ■  ■  ■  ■     ■ 
Bb Eb Fsus4 Bb
■  ■  ■     ■ 


[Break]
