Common Man
G
C
As the Maid poured wine and we began to dine
D G
I knew I was feeling out of place
C
At a table as large as a river barge
D G
And I love you written all on your face
C
I appreciate you hospitality
G D
But I wish that we would go
G C
Let me drive us to McDonalds and I'll talk to you
D G
Concerning something you should really know
I'm just a common man
C
Drive a common van
G D
My dog ain't got a pedigree
G
If I have my say
C
Gonna stay that way
G Em\
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
G
And a common man is what I'll be
C
I'll take a Chevrolet just anyday
D G
So give your Daddy back his Mercedes Benz
C
And there's some common people I hang out with
D G
They're my good time buddies - they're my friends
C
And I'd rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser Beer
G D
Than sip a crystal glass of wine
G C
So won't you make your mind up to believe in me
D G
And leave this high living world behind
Chorus
C Am
Yes I'm happy just being free
C Am
And I'm happy just being me
C D
And I hope that you will see
Chorus
