Verse 1:
E                   B                  Dbm
Like the pine trees linin' the windin' road
           A   B            E
I've got a name, I've got a name
E                B                     Dbm
Like the singin' bird and the croakin' toad
           Gb7               B
I've got a name, I've got a name
Abm            A               E
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
Ab7                Dbm   Gb7            B
But I'm livin' the dream that he kept hid

Chorus:
Abm                A
Movin' me down the highway
Abm                Db7
Rollin' me down the highway
A               B                  D    D
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

Verse 2:
E                   B                  Dbm
Like the north wind whistlin' down the sky
           A   B            E
I've got a song, I've got a song
E                   B                  Dbm
Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry
           Gb7               B
I've got a song, I've got a song
Abm            A               E
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
Ab7                Dbm   Gb7            B
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud

Chorus:
Abm                A
Movin' me down the highway
Abm                Db7
Rollin' me down the highway
A               B                  D
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by


E
  And I'm gonna go there free

Verse 3:
E               B                  Dbm
Like the fool I am and I'll always be
           A    B            E
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
  E                   B                  Dbm
They can change their minds but they can't change me
Gb7                          B
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
Abm            A               E
Oh, I know I could share it if you want me to
Ab7                Dbm   Gb7            B
If you're going my way, I'll go with you

Chorus:
Abm                A
Movin' me down the highway
Abm                Db7
Rollin' me down the highway
A               B                  D
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by


Abm                A
Movin' me down the highway
Abm                Db7
Rollin' me down the highway
A               B                            D    D
Movin' ahead so life won't ...       pass me by
