(RIFF 1) Like the pine trees lining the winding road, I got a name, I got a name D7/F#
Like the singing bird and the croaking toad, I got a name, I've got a name
And I carry it with me like my Daddy did
But I'm living the dream that he kept hid
CHORUS:
Moving me down the highway, rolling me down the highway F G RIFF 2A & 2B Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
C G/B Am Am/G F G C (RIFF 1) Like a north wind whistling down the sky, I got a song, I got a song D7/F#
Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry, I've got a song, I've got a song
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud ...CHORUS (END ON RIFF 2A)
SOLO (OVER FIRST TWO LINES OF VERSE)
And I'm gonna go there free
Like the fool I am and I'll always be, I've got a dream, I've got a dream
They can change their minds but they can't change me D7/F# I've got a dream, I've got a dream
I know I could share it, if you want me to
If you're going my way, I'll go with you CHORUS (end on RIFF 2A)

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.
Like the pine trees linin' the windin' road
I got a name, I got a name
Like the singin' bird and the croakin' toad
I got a name, I got a name
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But I'm livin' a dream that he can't give
Movin' me down the highway,
Rollin' me down the highway A B *(x2) Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by
