Intro:
GCDGG
You can't live together
C
You can't live alone
D
Considering the weather
G
Oh my, how you've grown
G
From the men in the factories
C
To the wild kangaroo
D
Like those birds of a feather
They're gathering together
G
And feeling exactly like you
Chorus:
G
They got mesmerized by lullabies
C
And limbo danced in pairs
D
Please lock that door
It don't make much sense
That common sense
G
Don't make no sense no more
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_prine/common_sense_crd.html )
CDG
Just between you and me
CG
It's like pulling
DG
When you ought to be shovin,
CGDG
Like a nun with her head in the oven
CG
Please don't tell me
DG
That this really wasn't nothing
(Repeat Intro)
G
One of these days
C
One of these nights
D
You'll take off your hat
And they'll read you
G
Your rights
G
You'll wanna get high
C
Every time you feel low
D
Hey, Queen Isabella
Stay away from that fella
He'll just get you
G
Into trouble, you know?
G
But they came here by boat
C
And they came here by plane
D
They blistered their hands
G
And they burned out their brain
G
All dreaming a dream
C
That'll never come true
D
Hey, don't give me no trouble
Or I'll call up my double
We'll play piggy-in-the-middle
G
With you
(Repeat Chorus)
