[Intro]
B E A E
 
[Verse 1]
E D A E
My name is Jenny and I am four fingers old
A E D A B
Mostly I just try to do the things that I am told
E D A E
But when they say that I'm too young a girl to ride a bike
A E D A B
I may be just four fingers old but I know what I like
 
[Chorus]
E F#m7
E F#m7
A B
Or is it just the rustling of the wind
A F#m7 B7
Or is it just that I need a friend
E F#m7 B7 E
Someone keeps calling my name, my name
 
[Verse 2]
E A E
My name is Jason and I'm ten birthdays old
A E D A B
My parents had me years ago to have and to hold
E
But sometimes they don't talk too much or touch hardly at all
A E D A B
It's strange how two can share a life divided by a wall
 
[Chorus]
E F#m7
Someone keeps calling my name
E F#m7
Someone keeps calling my name
A B
Or is it just the rustling of the wind
A F#m7 B7
Or is it just that I need a friend
E F#m7 B7 E
Someone keeps calling my name, my name
 
[Verse 3]
E A E
My name is Jonathon, I'm fifty seasons old
E E D A B
I say it that way 'cause I love the changes each year holds
E
But as I look around I see some changes nature never planned
A E D A B
I guess it's time to change ourselves, at least while we still can
 
[Chorus]
E F#m7
Someone keeps calling my name
E F#m7
Someone keeps calling my name
A B
Or is it just the rustling of the wind
A F#m7 B7
Or is it just that I need a friend
E F#m7 B7 E
Someone keeps calling my name, my name
 
[Verse 4]
E
My name is Jaime, fifteen years I've been to young
A D A B
Is it time to taste the truth and toss it off my tounge?
E
The world has come a-calling and it's bleeding at my door
A E D A B
Am I supposed to turn away, or is this what I'm here for?
 
[Chorus]
E F#m7
Someone keeps calling my name
E F#m7
Someone keeps calling my name
A B
Or is it just the rustling of the wind
A F#m7 B7
Or is it just that I need a friend
E F#m7 B7 E B
Someone keeps calling my name, my name
