Chris De Burgh - Read My Name
CAPO: 4th Fret
Am Dm G C
For every child that has been born, there is a chance to shine,
Dm Am E E7
And everyone can have a dream until the end of time,
Am Dm G C
So live for every moment as the world keeps turning 'round,
Dm Am E
And lift your hands up to the sky and say it loud and proud,
Am D G Am D G Am
"I have been here, read my name, read my name!"
Dm G C
For every child that has been born, there is a chance in life,
Dm Am E E7
To try it all and be someone with what we have inside,
Am Dm G C
So don't give up and don't give in, just give it all instead,
Dm Am E
And raise your voice above the crowd and let them know you've said..
Am D G Am D G Am
"I have been here, read my name, read my name
F G
With all I've got I've taken part,
E Am
I've made a difference to the world,
F G C
I have been here, just read my name____!"
Am Dm G C
Endlessly amazing and inventive that we are,
Dm Am E E7
We dive the deepest oceans and we reach out for the stars,
Am Dm G C
And one day there will be a man across the universe,
Dm Am E
Who'll say "I come from Planet Earth" and these will be his words..
Am D G Am D G Am
"I have been here, read my name, read my name
F G
With all I've got I've taken part,
E Am
I've made a difference to the world,
F G C
I have been here, just read my name____!"
Am Dm G C
And when the darkness has to fall and comes the end of days,
Dm Am E E7
Then lift your hands up to the sky and say it once again....
E C F G
"I have been here and I have taken part,
E Am
I've made a difference to the world,
F G C
I have been here, just read my name____!"
Am Dm G Am C
Da da da, da da da da, da da da da da da,
Dm Am E E7 Am
Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da da da, yea-ea-a-ea-a
Dm Am G C D
"I have been here... just read my name
Dm Am G C D
I've taken part... reach for the stars,
Dm Am G C D
Across the universe... we come from Planet Earth."
