I Am--Kid Rock
written by Ritchie/Penhallow, Jr./Wojcik/Johns
From the album "Kid Rock"
Corrections welcome.
NOTE: A lot of the chord changes (especially the Am-Am7 and Cadd9-G) come pretty
fast, and depend on the tempo/strum pattern you're playing. I added them in
to make the song more interesting when playing by yourself. If you don't like
'em, feel free to leave 'em out--sounds good either way.
