I Got a Name
Jim Croce

D                     A                    Bm
  Like the pine trees windin' on down the road
         G    A          D   A
I got a name,   I got a name
D                   A                    Bm
  Like the singin' bird and the croakin' toad
         E             A
I got a name, I got a name
F#m               G               D         Bm
   And I carry it with me like my daddy did
                 E                   A
But I'm livin' a dream that he can't live

|F#m                  G      F#m                   B
|Movin' me down the highway, rollin' me down the highway
|G               A                   C-C/B-C/A-C/G-riff
|Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

D                   A                    Bm
  Like a north wind whistlin' down the sky
         G    A          D   A
I got a song,   I got a song
D                    A                 Bm
  Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry
         E             A
I got a song, I got a song
F#m                G               D            Bm
   And I carry it with me and I'll sing it loud
               E                     A
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud


Refrain

Break

D
  And I'm gonna go there free
D                  A                 Bm
  Like the fool I am and I'll always be
          G    A           D   A
I got a dream,   I got a dream
D                    A                           Bm
  They can change my mind, but they can't change me
          E              A
I got a dream, I got a dream
F#m               G               D          Bm
   I know I could share it if you want me to
                 E                   A
If you're goin' my way, I'll go with you


Refrain  (2x; sustain A; end on D)
