Let Me Be

Let Me Be:The Turtles. 
#29 in 1965. 

INTRO: D A D E(x2)

#1. 
D            E           D         E 
Please don't mistake me, or try to make me, 
    D         E       A    D A 
the shadow of anybody else. 
D           E      D               E 
I ain't the him or her you think I am, 
         D      E            A 
I'm just trying hard to be myself. 
        E                       A 
Though, society's goal is to be part of the whole, 
         D                         E  E7 
that may sound good to you, not to me. 

       A                 D                 E 
Let me be, let me be..to think like I want to. 
       A                         D        E 
Let me be, let me be..that's all I ask of you. 
  D                       C#m    Bm       D  A D E 
I am what I am and that's all, I ever can be. 

#2. 
D            E       D        E 
Don't try to plan me or understand me, 
  D              E       A    D A 
I can't stand to be understood. 
        D          E         D            E 
I could never give in to, or ever live up to, 
D          E           A 
being like you think I should. 
         E                         A 
I've got some inner need which I'm tryin' to heed, 
        D                 E      E7 
I can't take hand-me-down destiny. 
 
       A                 D                 E 
Let me be, let me be..to think like I want to. 
       A                         D        E 
Let me be, let me be..that's all I ask of you. 
  D                       C#m    Bm       D  A D E 
I am what I am and that's all, I ever can be. 

#3. 
D            E            D E 
Don't try to change me or rearrange me, 
   D           E              A  D A    
to satisfy the selfishness of you. 
    D              E                D                E 
I'm not a piece of clay, to mold to your moves, each day.. 
        D             E              A 
and I'm not a pawn to be told how to move. 
          E                                  A 
I'm sorry I'm not the fool you thought would play  
                      D                    E   E7 
by your rules...a 'to-each-his-own' philosophy. 

       A                 D                 E 
Let me be, let me be..to think like I want to. 
       A                         D        E 
Let me be, let me be..that's all I ask of you. 
  D                       C#m    Bm       D  A D E 
I am what I am and that's all, I ever can be. 

OUTRO: 
               D     E        A        
I said, that's all I ever can be. 
               D     E        A        
I said, that's all I ever can be. 
               D     E        A        
I said, that's all I ever can be.(Fade.)
