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.

A B E
I got a name, I got a name

of slides, hammerons, pulloffs, bends, etc.
These notes are right, though.)
