Subject: TAB: I Got a Name by Jim Croce
I Got a Name
by Jim Croce (from His Greatest Hits)
I don't remember if I figured this out on
my own, or with a tab. In either case, I don't
have, and can't find, a tab file for this song
(for the key it's in on Photographs & Memories),
so I figured I'd make one.
E Like the pine trees Blinin' the windin' C#mroad
I got a Aname,B I got aE name
E Like the singin' Bbird and the croakin' C#mtoad
I got a F#name, I got a Bname
G#m And I carry it Awith me like my Edaddy did G#
But I'm livin' a C#mdream F# that he can't Bgive
G#mMovin' me down the Ahighway,
G#mRollin' me down the C#mhighway
A B *(x2)
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

A B *
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by
(solo: This is kinda' close. He does a lot
of slides, hammerons, pulloffs, bends, etc.
These notes are right, though.)
