It's only a couple days till the 40th anniversary of the death of truly one of the great acoustic
artists or any artist of any genre, Jim Croce, who wrote in such a short career.
He was kind of old when he did it.
He was in his mid-30s when he really got started and got big.
He wrote so many great songs and he was often seen with one of these.
So Jim, that was for you.
And Jim, I drink one to you.
And I honor you with what I think is one of your greatest songs.

[G#m] And I [A] carry it with [B] me [E] like my daddy [G#] did, but I'm [C#m] living the dream [F#] that he [B] kept hid.
[G#m] Pulling me [A] down the highway, [G#m] rolling [C#] me down the highway, [A] moving ahead so I [B] won't pass [D] me [A] by.
[E] Like the north [D#m] wind [F#m] whistling down [C#m] the sky, I've [A] got a song, [B] [A] I've got [E] a [A] song.
[E] Like the [D#] whippoorwill and the [A] [C#m] beater's cry, I've got [F#] a song, I've got [B] a song.
[G#m] And I [A] carry it with [E] me and I sing it loud.
