[E] [A] [E] [F#m] Like
[E] [B] the pine trees lining [C#] the winding [C#m] road, [E] I've got [A] a name, [B] I've got [E] a name.
[F#m]
[E] Like the [B] singing bird and the [C#m] croaking toad, [E] I've got [F#] 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 I'm [C#m] living the dream [F#] that [B] he kept here.
[G#m] Moving me [A] down the highway, [G#m] moving me [C#] down the highway, [A] moving [B] ahead so life won't [D] pass me by.
[Bm] [E] Like the [B] north wind whistling [C#m] down the sky, I've [A] got a song, [B] I've [E] got a song.
Like [B] the whelp-a-whale and [C#m] the Phoebus 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 [G#] loud, if [C#m] it gets me nowhere, [F#] I'd go there [B] proud.
[G#m] Moving [A] me down the highway, [G#m] moving me [C#] down the highway, [A] moving ahead so [B] life won't [D] pass me by.
[E]
[B] [C#m] [A]
[B] [E]
[B] [C#m] [F#]
[B] [E] And I'm gonna go there free.
Like [B] a fool I am and I'll always [C#m] be, [A] I've got a dream, [B] [E] I've got a dream.
They can [B] change their minds but [C#m] they can't change me, [F#] I've got a dream, I've [B] got a dream.
[G#m] I [A] know I could share it [E] if you want me [G#] to, 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 [C#] down the highway, [A] moving [B] ahead so life won't [D] pass me by.
[E] Moving me down [A] the highway, [G#m] moving me down [C#] the highway, [A] moving ahead so [B] life won't [D] pass me by.
