I've Got A Name
I’ve Got A Name - Jim Croce
D A Bm
Like the pine trees linin' the windin' road
G A D A D
I've got a name, I've got a name
D A Bm
Like the singin' bird and the croakin' toad
E7 A
I've got a name, I've got a name
F#m G D
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
F#m Bm E7 A
But I'm livin' the dream that he kept hid
F#m G
Operator
Operator, well, could you help me place this call
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L.A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
/ G Bm C G / Am D Em D / :
{Refrain}
But, isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels

TITLE: I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song
Lyrics and Chords
[ Capo 2 ]
Well, I know it's kinda late, I hope I didn't wake you
What I gotta say can't wait, I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you, the words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you, in a song
/ Gmaj7 Bm7 Am7 D7 / / C C#dim7 B7 EmC / G D7 C G /
Yeah, I know it's kinda strange, every time I'm near you
I just run out of things to say, I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I try to tell you, the words just came out wrong
