John Conlee - Common Man guitar chord

Common Man

By John Conlee

G C

As the Maid poured wine and we began to dine

D G

I knew I was feeling out of place

G 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 somethin’ you should really know

Chorus:

G

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 D G

And a common man is what I'll be

I'll take a Chevrolet just anyday

So give your Daddy back his Mercedes Benz

And there's some common people I hang out with

They're my good time buddies, they're my friends

And I'd rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser Beer

Than sip a crystal glass of wine

So won't you make your mind up to believe in me

And leave this high living world behind

Chorus

Bridge:

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
