JIM CROCE - "i got a name" Tablature

I got a name
Jim Croce


E B G#
Like the pine trees windin on down the road

G# A B E
I got a name, I got a name

E B G#
Like the singin bird and the croakin toad

G# A B E
I got a name, I got a name

E B G#
And I carry it with me like my daddy did

G# A B E
But I'm livin a dream that he can't give

B C#
Movein me down the highway, Rollin me down the highway

E E
Movein ahead so life won't pass me by

Rest of lyrics:

Like a north wind whistlin down the sky
I got a song, I got a song
Like the whipperwill and the baby's cry
I got a song, I got a song
And I carry it with me and I'll sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud

Movein...Rollin..Movein ahead...

-solo-

And I'm gonna go there free...

Like a fool I am and will always be
I got a dream, I got a dream

They can change their mind but the can't change me
I got a dream, I got a dream

I know I could share it if you want me to
If you're goin my way, I'll go with you

Movein...Rollin..Movein ahead...
