Chris de Burgh – Read My Name (Guitar)

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."
