I Got A Name Jim Croce Cover chords
Start Jamming...
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.

[E] [A]
[E] Like the [F#m] pine trees lining the winding [C#m] road, I've [A] got a name, [B] [A] I've [E] got a [A] name.
[E]
Like the singing [F#m] bird and the [A] [C#m] croaking toad, I've got [F#] a name, I've [A] got [B] a name.
[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.
[G#] If it gets [C#m] me nowhere, [F#]
I'll [B] go there proud.
[G#m] Pulling me [A] down the highway, [G#m] rolling me [C#] down the highway, [A] moving ahead [B] so I won't [A] pass me by.

And I'm gonna go there free.
Like a fool [D#] I am and I'll [A] [C#m] always be, I've [E] got [A] a dream, [E] I've got a dream.
[A]
[E] They can change [F#m] their minds, but they [A] can't [C#m] change me.
I've [E] got [F#] a dream, I've [A] got [B] a dream.
[G#] I know [A] I could [E] share it if you want me to.
[G#] If you're [C#m] going my [E] way, [F#]
I'll [B] go with you.
[G#] Pulling me [A] down the highway, [G#m] rolling me [C#m] down the highway, [A] moving ahead [B] so I won't pass [D] me [A] by.

[G#m] Pulling me [A] down the highway, [G#] rolling me [C#] down the highway, [A] moving ahead [E] so [B] I [Em] won't [D] pass me [A] by.

God bless you Jim.
