I Don’t Know My Name – Grace VanderWaal

“I Don’t Know My Name” is the song which won America’s Got Talent in 2016 and propelled Grace VanderWaal to fame ages just 12 years old.

It’s a simple tune to play, perfect for beginners on any instrument – I hope you enjoy playing it 🙂

 

E      D      C       G       E
I don’t know my name

E      D      C     C    G      E     D    D      D

I went from bland and popular

G     E-D      D        C – A          G
To joining the marching band
