Hmm.
[F#m] [E] Like the pine [D#m] trees lining the [C#m] winding road, I've [A] got a name, [B] I've [E] got a [F#m] name.
[E] Like the [B] singing bird in the [C#m] croaking toad, I've [F#] got a name, I've [B] got a name.
[Bm] [G#m] And I [A] carry it with me [E] like my daddy [G#] did, but [C#m] I'm living the dream [F#] that he [B] kept here.
[G#m] Moving [A] me down the highway, [G#m] moving [C#] me down the highway,
[A] moving [B] ahead so life won't [D] pass me by.
[Bm] [A] [E]
Like [B] the north wind whistling [C#m] down the sky, [A] I've got a song, [B] [E] I've got a song.
Like [B] the whelp of will and [C#m] the feverish cry, [F#] I've got a song, [B] I've got a song.
[G#m] And [A] I carry it with me [E] and I sing it loud.
[G#] If [C#m] it gets me nowhere, [F#] [B] I'll go there proud.
[G#m] Moving [A] me down the highway, [G#m] moving [C#] me down the highway,
[A] moving [B] ahead so life won't [D] pass me by.

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