I Got a Name

guitar chords lyrics

Jim Croce

Capo on 4th Fret

C G Am
Like the pine trees linin' the windin' road
F C
I've got a name, I've got a name
C G Am
Like the singin' bird and the croakin' toad
D7 G
I've got a name, I've got a name

Em F C
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
Em Am G
But I'm livin' the dream that he kept hid

Em F
Movin' me down the highway
Em A7
Rollin' me down the highway
F G C
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

C G Am
Like the north wind whistlin' down the sky
F C
I've got a song, I've got a song
C G Am
Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry
D7 G
I've got a song, I've got a song

Em F C
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
Em Am G
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud

Em F
Movin' me down the highway
Em A7
Rollin' me down the highway
F G C
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

[Solo]

C
And I'm gonna go there free

C G Am
Like the fool I am and I'll always be
F C
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
C G Am
They can change their minds but they can't change me
D7 G
I've got a dream, I've got a dream

Em F C
Oh, I know I could share it if you want me to
Em Am G
If you're going my way, I'll go with you

Em F
Movin' me down the highway
Em A7
Rollin' me down the highway
F G C
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

Em F
Movin' me down the highway
Em A7
Rollin' me down the highway
F G C
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by
