                            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...
