Jim Croce - I Got A Name

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 ]

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
